Abstract

Cultural heritage digital libraries hold promise both as a new tool for representing the complex information structures frequently found in the humanities and social sciences and as interactive environments that enable scholars to work with this information in new ways throughout the research project. Much attention has been paid to digitization, textual encoding, metadata and dissemination of digital cultural heritage data. Scholars now routinely turn toward electronic sources as a first step in their information finding process. Considerably less attention, however, has been devoted to understanding how to support the formative stages of scholarly research. In this paper, we highlight our finding from a formative user study of scholarly analysis of source documents in several different fields. We discuss the implications of these results for our current research into designing a web-based creativity support environment for cultural heritage digital libraries.
