We've been thinking about using the term "Digital Scholarship" in the library, and I think if we did it would be a way of saying that we appeal to / offer services to disciplines that are not just the humanities. 

That said, digital scholarship is a pretty vague phrase, and I think digital humanities has come to mean something specific. 

Best,
Lisa
