In this response to Werner Sollors’s article on the use of digital technology in research and teaching scenarios, we ask how some of the observations made by Sollors and his colleagues apply specifically to a German American Studies context. We are particularly interested in further discussing questions of access to and availability of digital material, the impacts of computers on teaching environments and methods of digital pedagogy, the need for increased data literacy in the humanities, and the chances and limitations of transdisciplinary research collaborations that often inform digital scholarship in American Studies.
