Subject Archives: The Role of Humanities Libraries in Advancing Digital Publishing Alternatives

  • Ahmad Iqbal Shah Assistant Professor at University of Kohat

Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital research tools in the humanities has led to the emergence of novel methods of academic investigation and dissemination. In order for these forms to flourish, it is imperative that we develop novel methods for disseminating and presenting knowledge. If digital research findings are not integrated into the usual academic communication processes, including publication, discovery, access-provision, maintenance, and preservation, it could put the academic record at risk. This category encompasses the techniques of publishing, searching, sharing, updating, and archiving. The objective of this project is to conduct an examination of a particular set of databases focused on the issue of digital humanities. Researching a certain topic has become significantly easier due to the availability of digital archives containing original documents. Although the genre is highly popular, it includes a diverse range of styles, objectives, and intentions. In order to gain a deeper comprehension of the genre in its whole, one can employ the typological approach, which aims to recognise and represent specific categories of collections. Utilising this approach will enable you to accomplish this objective. This study aims to examine the concept, technique, and challenges associated with ensuring constant and convenient access to digital academic resources for theme research collections.
