Course Overview Page

Digital Humanities (DH) represents a convergence of computational methods with humanistic inquiry that is already reshaping how libraries digitise, describe, preserve, curate, and provide access to cultural heritage. This eight-unit course provides a structured, activity-rich introduction to DH tailored specifically for library and information professionals — grounded in Indian and South Asian institutional contexts, built around active participation, and designed to produce immediately transferable professional competencies.
