Workbook for Introduction to Digital Humanities: A-State

Karen Hallett

My name is Karen Hallett and I am currently enrolled as a PhD Student in the Heritage Studies program at the university.  My role as a student with an interest in Government Documents allows me to see how other countries and their culture and heritage are viewed from the perspective of the United States Government and its various agencies.  This has sparked my interest in culture and heritage and has led me to my current program.  My research interests include information seeking behavior, culture and heritage in Burma, and almost anything to do with the fiber arts and how they relate to culture and traditions of various peoples.  A newer interest is in Digital Humanities.  As more information is moving in that direction, librarians must gain a better understanding of how it works, how to implement it through projects, and how to help our students make the best use of such projects.
