This post is already a few years old, but it is still a fun read. The definition of DH offered here might be a bit too open to say anything concrete about how librarians can get involved in innovative humanities research.

The challenges might more than anything be connected to institutional barriers and traditions: http://miriamposner.com/blog/what-are-some-challenges-to-doing-dh-in-the-library/
