Humanities Information Practices

2010

Humanities Information Practices is a RIN funded study which aims to develop a sense of the range of information behaviours in the humanities; it is a collaborative project of Oxford Internet Institute, University College London and Virtual Knowledge studio. Through case studies, observations and interviews, this study will aim to understand how humanities scholars appropriate both analogue and digital resources in their work. It will highlight issues in the current information environment which affect user information seeking behaviour in the humanities.
