Even in the Humanities, the perception of researches is changing, as are
the practices that represent "real" research. Case in point, Timothy
Burke, from Swarthmore College, who presented at the March LC Meeting in
Mountain View. He's a History professor, but finds the tools we provide
for research aren't keeping pace with the tools provided on the
Internet. While it's only anecdotal evidence, and one historian's
perspective, I found this incredibly interesting:
