A Short Guide to the Digital_Humanities.  (From the Authors) This final section of Digital Humanities reflects on the preceding chapters, but can also stand alone as a concise overview of the field. As digital methodologies, tools,and skills become increasingly central to work in the humanities, questions regarding fundamentals, project outcomes, assessment, and design have become urgent. The specifications provide a set of checklists to guide those who do work in the Digital Humanities, as well as those who are asked to assess and fund Digital Humanities scholars, projects, and initiatives.
