This session will explore the impact of the growing digital archive
on teaching and re-search in the humanities by drawing on two
recent databases acquired by the. St. John's Library, Early English
Books Online (EEBO) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online
(ECCO). We will discuss how these resources are reshaping the sorts
of intellectual in-quiry we can undertake as humanities scholars;
how they enable new possibilities for research in literary study
and beyond; and how these innovations can enrich the liberal arts
classroom. What counts as a "text"? What new analytic approaches
can we under-take? What boundaries remain among humanities
disciplines in the age of the digital archive?
Please join us as we ask how these resources redefine our work as
scholars and teachers.
