Learning outcomes
This video class introduces students to the basics of digitizing the materiality of pre-modern books, orienting them toward where to find further information and encouraging their engagement with this significant aspect of DH and modern-day rare book librarianship. This class covers the following topics:
Abstract
The foundational skills at the intersection of digitization, bibliography, and the Digital Humanities are crucial for many scholars, yet instruction frequently only covers one maybe two of these intersecting aspects. For example, use of the Text Encoding Initiative XML standard is increasingly the norm in digital scholarly editing, but many individuals working with textual materials do not have access to relevant scholarly training in DH. Conversely, many DH departments, lack rare book specialists.
The goal of this video class is to teach the necessary skills for understanding how the materiality of pre-modern books can be digitized and provide a foundation for putting those skills into practice. After completing this course, students will understand the fundamentals of digitization and how books and manuscripts are described in the TEI, including the msdescription and transcription modules.
