fyi.  An article published recently about the cross over in skill sets in
the LIS and DH fields.  Keeping the “L” in Digital: Applying LIS Core
Competencies to Digital Humanities Work, The Journal of Creative Library
Practice.<http://creativelibrarypractice.org/2013/09/06/keeping-the-l-in-digital-applying-lis-core-competencies-to-digital-humanities-work/>

"Furthermore, Brett Bobley — Chief Information Officer of the National
Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) and Director of the Office of the Digital
Humanities (ODH) — has provided a broad but telling definition of the term:

I use “digital humanities” as an umbrella term for a number of different
activities that surround technology and humanities scholarship.  Under the
digital humanities rubric, I would include topics like open access to
materials, intellectual property rights, tool development, digital
libraries, data mining, born-digital preservation, multimedia publication,
visualization, GIS, digital reconstruction, study of the impact of
technology on numerous fields, technology for teaching and learning,
sustainability models, media studies, and many others.” (2012, p. 61).

Many librarians who read Bobley’s rubric may recognize that most of these
activities accurately describe their own job descriptions, professional
concerns, and activities. In addition to a brief discussion of ALA’s Core
Competencies and the modern development of DH, this article will reveal how
I have applied basic and advanced LIS skills to a scholarly Korean popular
culture DH project. The article will conclude with outcomes and long-term
implications for librarians who choose to identify and lend their skill
sets to DH projects."
