Use of Digital Tools in Higher Education: Creating an Online Index of Theatrical Reviews

Abstract

Theater criticism holds an important place in theater studies, especially as a tool for studying theater history and reception - it is one of the three main branches of theatrology along with theater history and theory. This study presents the cataloguing, digitization and interpretive study of a body of theater reviews published in Greek literary journals in the years 1900-1950. In this context and with the aim of linking research with new technologies, we created a searchable electronic database, comprising a complete index of theater criticism published in Greek journals in the years 1900-1950, which offers users access to the full reviews, allowing them to search from a predefined list of fields, thus contributing to the modern needs of the information society and constituting a valuable and modern study tool for the educational and research community.
