Dig This DiRT

Digital Research Tools (DiRT)

This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you’re looking for. We provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool’s features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers.

I like the way the table of contents is set up in terms of needs. Thus, e.g.:

I want to…

• Analyze texts
• Author an interactive work
• Blog…

The site is the creation of a group of librarians (natch), who are open to contributions.
