Digital Humanities–Why Now? — from NITLE
Why launch a digital humanities initiative now? Yesterday, when I introduced NITLE’s new initiative, I spent some time defining digital humanities and digital scholarship. Today, I’ll take a crack at the “why now” question, specifically for liberal arts colleges. (Tomorrow, I’ll explore why the digital humanities matter for liberal arts colleges and offer some ways for those at small liberal arts colleges to get involved and take action.)
Why now?
So, why should we look at the digital humanities now, especially on the small liberal arts college campus? To answer this question, first we must look at the larger context of higher education. The digital humanities have been moving through the academy.

New Business Models for Higher Education — from David Collis, Yale University [via Educause]
Collis assesses the new higher education marketplace, replete with distance learning courses offered online. He reviews the business models of dozens of for-profit Internet based firms entering the higher education market, compares their strategies with those of traditional colleges and universities, and projects the effects of the new entrants on established institutions. Collis concludes that the new firms will move more quickly along a technology-enabled learning trajectory, which in the end will put them at a distinct advantage when they move from their most common point of entry — the corporate market — into the traditional higher education realm.

On college campuses, technology is moving fast – from education-portal.com
In this year’s Almanac of Higher Education, The Chronicle explores the rapidly expanding use of technology on college campuses by both students and institutions. They found that while many institutions are increasing their licensing of technological research to boost their bottom lines, the majority of public universities are cutting academic computing budgets. Meanwhile, students are spending more and more time online.
