LibCal: A Product Review

Academic, public or special librarians interact with a variety of patrons–students, faculty members, community patrons, or other employees–and often need tools to manage their time and responsibilities in the library.

量化数字人文综述

数字人文对多样化研究内容、语言和学者的包容性,使其在近20年得到突飞猛进的壮大,并逐渐涉及人文学、社会学、计算机科学等多个领域。然而,包容的“大帐篷”不仅在一定程度上限制了对数字人文具体学科内容、科研范畴、学者群体和学科历史的理解,也使得学科成长和拓展缺少客观数据和理论的支持,从而无法健康且可持续地发展。文章回顾前人对数字人文所做的学科研究,重点集中在使用计量和统计等方法来揭示数字人文的知识结构、内容演变、合作模式和学者背景等工作上,以期帮助学界从量化的角度认识数字人文的形成、发展和前景。
