DiRT

DiRT

This is a really sweet project from Digital Scholarship in the Humanities
which I stumbled across while looking for something else. DiRT is an acronym for Digital Research Tools and is designed to collect "information about tools and resources that can help scholars
(particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research
more efficiently or creatively." (Quoted from DiRT's introduction) This is an excellent idea to be able to gather, to a certain extent, many of the already used and established tools to be essentially peer-reviewed as well as providing a space for new tools and resources to be made known. DiRT also seems to provide a forum for discussion on these various items as well. This should be an excellent project. I've already slapped the feed on my igoogle page and am excited to see what's coming up.
