Abstract: The Crawford Slip Method is a quick and efficient way to gather and organize a lot of ideas from many people. The steps are (1) writing input on uniform slips of paper, (2) sorting and classifying, and (3) consolidating the output report. Group size can reach 50 or more, the input is anonymous, and hundreds of single-phrase or single-sentence ideas, methods, answers, etc. can be obtained across a variety of disciplines involved in a problem or need. Skill in leadership, target selection, and slip processing is important.

TL;DR: Dinamičan, ali i nejednak razvoj u ovoj oblasti ilustruje se nizom primera, uz nastojanje da se kritički sagledaju mogućnosti i ograničenja digitalne istorije, ali pre svega da se doprinese njenom ovladavanju.
Abstract: Članak se bavi genezom, oblicima i perspektivama razvoja digitalne istorije, nove naučne discipline nastale primenom informacionih tehnologija u istraživanju prošlosti. Tokom poslednjih 25 godina, digitalna istorija se razvila u prepoznatljivu, mada ne i jasno definisanu disciplinu, koja transformiše istorijsku nauku. Razmatraju se promene koje digitalizacija donosi, od strukture istorijskih izvora, njihovog prikupljanja i obrade, do analize sadržaja, tehnike istorijskih istraživanja i predstavljanja njihovih rezultata. Dinamičan, ali i nejednak razvoj u ovoj oblasti ilustruje se nizom primera, uz nastojanje da se kritički sagledaju mogućnosti i ograničenja digitalne istorije, ali pre svega da se doprinese njenom ovladavanju.
