Dan Cohen has an interesting article on his blog, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, on how scholarly databases can transform how humanities courses can be taught.  Here is a snippet:

Christopher Hanlon laments the difficulty of getting students to do serious literary scholarship and explains how requiring them to use online databases such as Making of America for their research led them to produce more interesting, original work.
