I really like this topic, and would be interested in expanding it (if warranted) to include a discussion of cooperative approaches to providing support for DH research. Is anything like this happening? What […]

Wow–I love this work and love this project! But rather than learning to do it all yourself, my advice would be to find some talented partners and collaborate. There are *many* dimensions of this kind of project […]

I definitely think we could merge these sessions if that seems useful to the group. It seems to me that in addition to being single institution-based most DH centers define themselves by the set of technologies or […]

Is there a way that we could frame this topic into a useful discussion or working session proposal? For instance, what is the biggest problem people face when trying to get started doing Digital Preservation? I’ll […]

I am particularly interested in the part about learning what it might take to repurpose different types of metadata (DC, MARC, EAD) for use within one Omeka website. We at CLIR are hoping to allow recipients of […]

The Digital Library Federation has recently been brought back in to the Council on Library and Information Resources as a new program. I’m lucky to be spending part of next week with our brand new DLF Program […]
