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 […]

cwillifo commented on the post, what have you done for us lately?, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2010 right now

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 […]

Intriguing idea. I’m wondering if any campers have incorporated teaching visual fluency into a writing class. There are a number of parallels between infographic elements and logical or grammatical ones; […]
