- Digital Humanities and the Disciplines, Day 2 (Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:29:48 -0700)
The second day of the ?Digital Humanities and the Disciplines? conference at Rutgers was so full of thought-provoking talks and conversation that it’s taken me a few days to digest it. The highlights: Chris Kelty (who has recently moved to UCLA’s Department of Information Studies) gave a [...] - Digital Humanities and the Disciplines, Day 1 (Fri, 03 Oct 2008 08:39:13 -0700)
Aside from a talk from yours truly on new directions in digital history, the first day of the ?Digital Humanities and the Disciplines” conference at Rutgers featured a talk by Hilary Ballon entitled “Rethinking the Journal in Multimedia.” Ballon is the Associate Vice Chancellor at New York University and the editor of the Journal of [...] - Digital Humanities and the Disciplines (Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:36:20 -0700)
On Thursday and Friday, October 2-3, 2008 (that is, starting tomorrow, if you’re reading this immediately from my feed) I’ll be at Rutgers University for the conference “Digital Humanities and the Disciplines,” sponsored by the Center for Cultural Analysis. If you’re in the area, please stop by?the conference is open to the public. If I [...] - Big Zotero News (Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:12:09 -0700)
No, not that other news. For those using Zotero 1.5, you can now browse your Zotero library on your iPhone or iPod Touch. (Or from any web browser on a computer or phone.) Just another way that the Zotero project keeps innovating to serve the academic community. And in case you missed it, we’ve also released over [...] - Digital Campus #32 - Going Native (Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:56:23 -0700)
On this episode of the podcast we discuss whether ?digital natives,? those teens and twentysomethings who are supposed to understand and use digital technology intuitively, really exist. We also cover Google?s latest digitization project (this time of newspapers), the publishing lobby?s attempt to close NIH?s open access research portal, and two new foundations to support [...] - The Promise of Digital History (Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:21:06 -0700)
Back in January of this year I mentioned in this space that I was participating in an online discussion on digital history for the Journal of American History. That discussion has just been published in the September 2008 issue under the title “The Promise of Digital History.” The discussion ended up being extremely wide-ranging, including [...] - Digital Campus #31 - Back To School (Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:34:02 -0700)
On our first podcast of the school year, Bryan Alexander, the Director of Research of NITLE, joins us. Bryan closely follows emerging trends in academic technology on his terrific blog, and he lets us know what he thinks the critical trends are for the coming year. Google?s new web browser, Chrome, is the main topic [...] - Digital Dialogues at MITH Fall 2008 Schedule (Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:33:54 -0700)
Looks like another great series of talks at the home of our friends on the other side of the beltway, the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities. I’m going to try to catch at least a couple of these “digital dialogues.” - Canadianization of Zotero (Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:43:50 -0700)
We were lucky to be joined this summer by Adam Crymble, a graduate student in history at the University of Western Ontario. And we were doubly lucky since he worked hard to make Zotero compatible with Canadian resources that were not previously compatible. Adam reports the results of his efforts on his blog, which should [...] - Fall 2008 Openings at CHNM (Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:36:14 -0700)
As the Center for History and New Media continues to grow, we’re on another hiring spree. Here are our two most recent openings; I’ll post others as they become available. Also remember that there is an opening for a tenure-track job in digital history at CHNM/GMU. Drupal/PHP Programmer The Center for History and New Media is seeking [...]
