HTML5shiv is a javascript file that is referenced in a <script> tag. You should use HTML5shiv when you are using the new HTML5 elements such as:<article>, <section>, <aside>, <nav>, <footer>. You will require the HTML5shiv to provide compatibility for IE Browsers older than IE 9.
HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. It is the fifth and final major HTML version that is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation.
It really should be "shim", but Resig used the term "shiv". See here: http://paulirish.com/2011/the-history-of-the-html5-shiv/
