What does a "digital humanist" do all day?

On Friday, March 18th more than 200 digital humanists — scholars, librarians, administrators, and others — all around the world documented what they do over the course of a day. It's an annual project called Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities. The goal is to help clarify in concrete terms what, exactly, it means to be a digital humanist.

You can follow along in a few different ways.

• You can read the latest blog posts from all Day of DH contributors.
• You can browse the list of all participants and read their individual blogs.
• You can watch people tweet about their day using the #dayofdh hashtag.

Several of Emory's very own librarians are participating! Check out the blogs of Brian Croxall, Alice Hickcox, Miriam Posner, and Stewart Varner.
