Knowledge Organization • “Stephen Ramsay (2010) has linked DH to one of the oldest
functions of the library, namely knowledge organization:
• “Of all scholarly pursuits, Digital Humanities most clearly represents the spirit that animated the ancient foundations at Alexandria, Pergamum, and Memphis, the great monastic libraries of the Middle Ages, and even the first research libraries of the German Enlightenment. It is obsessed with varieties of representation, the organization of knowledge, the technology of communication and dissemination, and the production of useful tools for scholarly inquiry.”

3. “Librarians need additional training and education in order to contribute effectively.”
4. “Data offers many possibilities for library contributions.”This edition of Keeping Up With... was written by Jennifer L. Adams and Kevin B. Gunn
