We are very pleased to announce the publication of Issue 1 of Humanities Methods in Librarianship! This new, diamond open access journal features peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, and creative work that sit at the intersection of humanistic approaches and the library profession.
https://docs.humanitiesmethods.org/1
The journal explicitly attempts to stake out new ground in librarianship. The assembled articles of the first issue suggest a less positivist way forward for library scholarship, one that departs from a narrowly defined social-scientific toolkit to ask other questions about librarianship and its purposes. The goal is to think more perspicaciously about libraries, and to draw on under-utilized humanities methods to better illuminate library work.
We are very happy to share these articles with you. We welcome your feedback. Please enjoy the excellent work of our Issue 1 authors!
