Libraries can provide direct access to primary source material within faculty and student workflow. 5 A HOLISTIC SOLUTION Academic librarians have long been at the forefront of identifying and supporting the changing needs of research and scholarship. With the widespread interest and engagement in digital humanities, that leadership is especially critical to successfully navigate collaboration between faculty and other campus stakeholders. As more practitioners become involved and the scope of programs are defined, librarians will drive successful collaboration. With the Gale Digital Scholar Lab, Gale has created a research platform to help bridge the gap that often exists between primary resources that are available in the library and the research needs and workflows of faculty and students. Digital humanists will be less inclined to bypass the library and seek content from open web sources
