by Dr. Duncan Buell Scholars in the humanities who are moving into the digital world are confronting a complex issue: how to balance work on and use of digital tools with “research” in their respective disciplines. Are some scholarly activities real research, while others are “just work”? This is an issue that has been faced in the sciences, where it has been resolved at least in part and relates to the serious issue of “credit” for the creation of digital artifacts. While you eat your lunch, Buell will give his view on how to distinguish work and research, as well as the role of making tools in support of and as part of scholarly disciplinary work. Coffee will be provided. More information here.
