Abstract

Abstract:Digital humanities is a new field in the data age that introduces computing technology into humanities literature. Many libraries have built digital humanities scholarly commons, but it is rare in China’s libraries. Through literature and website research, digital humanities database construction practice, questionnaires, and interviews with humanities scholars, we explore the path to build digital humanities scholarly commons at Beijing Normal University Library. We constructed an educators’ prosopography database, collected database construction suggestions from humanities scholars, and assessed their willingness to construct a digital humanities commons with us. Combined with the feedback, we found that humanities researchers are interested in digital humanities methods, but they need relevant tools training. Beijing Normal University Library can provide humanities scholars with training workshops on digital humanities concepts, methods, tools, platforms, and database construction, and the library is good at full-cycle data service including data collection, management, storage, and publishing. The library should strengthen data mining, text analysis, and visualization in the digital humanities study, focus on the authority and reliability of data, cooperate with humanities scholars to collect and verify data, and then enhance the library’s influence in the academic community.

北京师范大学图书馆数字人文学术共享

摘要:数字人文学科是数据时代将计算技术引入人文文学的一个新领域。许多图书馆都建立了数字人文学术公地，但这在中国图书馆中尚属罕见。通过文献和网站研究、数字人文数据库建设实践、问卷调查和人文学者访谈等方法，探讨了北师大图书馆数字人文学术公地建设的路径。我们构建了一个教育家的人文学数据库，收集了人文学者的数据库建设建议，并评估了他们与我们一起构建数字人文公共资源的意愿。结合反馈，我们发现人文学科研究者对数字人文方法感兴趣，但他们需要相关工具的培训。北师大图书馆可以为人文学者提供数字人文概念、方法、工具、平台、数据库建设等方面的培训班，擅长数据采集、管理、存储、发布等全周期数据服务。图书馆应加强数字人文研究中的数据挖掘、文本分析和可视化，注重数据的权威性和可靠性，与人文学者合作收集和验证数据，从而提升图书馆在学术界的影响力。
