“…Newness in the humanities, we argue, is uniquely the product of collaborative tools, so we further interrogate how searches in a few specific scholarly tools have determined a researcher's objects of study. One for epigraphers is the Europeana network for Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE Project, Figure ) (Liuzzo, ), which enables scholars to search digitized inscriptions by structured metadata fields. The classical studies professor who searches for epigraphy from Rome picks from thousands of photographed inscriptions and assembles a project around one item or around a few sorted by a particular object type (altar, tile) or inscription type (honorific, magic).…”

Humanities research informs people's movements across time and reshapes cultural worldviews. While we know that humanists integrate information resources into their research program and that serendipitous discoveries enable truly transformative knowledge creation, our picture of discovery in the humanities is unclear. There is an important role for information professionals to better support humanistic discovery as routine practice. To fully comprehend the complex research activities of humanities scholars it is necessary to expand upon existing models of information encountering (IE) by analyzing discovery episodes and the temporal and topical factors in play. We take particular interest in studying how scholars in the art history and archeology disciplines conceptualize, pursue, and often complete research projects. Ultimately we present an amended IE model that reveals intricate connections between IE, rediscovery, and altruistic collaboration mutually evolving over distinct timespans.

Latinization, Local Languages, and Literacies in the Roman West

This volume explores Latinization, local languages, and literacies in the Roman West, focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Gaul, the Germanies, and Britain in the later Iron Age and Roman period. We use a combination of various sets of evidence and an interdisciplinary—historical, archaeological, sociolinguistic, and epigraphic—perspective to uncover local voices. The results and arguments draw on the importance of context, local communities, and regionality. We consider the factors relating to the uptake of Latin, tracking ‘differential Latinization’ and revealing the probable survival of local languages, alongside, or even to the exclusion of, Latin in some communities in the non-Mediterranean areas. By including everyday writing in their epigraphic evidence, the contributors reveal regionality also in the varieties of Latin used and disparities in engagement in both the epigraphic habit and broader literate practices. Cautious use of previous research and new data enabled us to describe types of literacies, and to move away from debates on provincial percentages of literacy or from generalizations about urban–rural literacy, to contemplate social, chronological, and geographical complexity—essentially a socio-literacy approach following sociolinguistic methodology. Throughout the book we grapple with the ‘characterful’ data sets available to us, whose careful treatment enables the exploration of a range of themes vital for understanding provincial life.
