POST: Keeping the “L” in Digital: Applying LIS Core Competencies to Digital Humanities Work

In an article in The Journal of Creative Library Practice, Kaetrena Davis Kendrick of the University of South Carolina Lancaster places “many core activities of [Digital Humanities] squarely in the domain of modern librarianship.” Reviewing the ALA Core Competencies of Librarianship, Kendrick “reveals how LIS competencies have been applied to a Korean popular culture DH project at Elon University,” directly connecting librarians to successful digital humanities practice. Kendrick concludes her article with a rousing affirmation that “the ‘L’ in digital stands for us: Librarians.”
