Even as more people identify as digital humanists, information professionals often have trouble getting humanists to talk about data management, prepare plans for data sustainability, or even put their data in a logical place. But there's a good reason for this: Humanists don't tend to think of their sources as data -- not because they're not used to computers, but because of epistemological problems with the very term "data." Miriam Posner will explain what these problems are and what they might mean for digital humanities and librarianship.
