barbarafister commented on the post, print journal / digital world, on the site THATCamp Publishing 2011 right now

Okay – I guess I am confused about the “born digital” part. It seems as if there’s a distinction here between “part of a series and its sequence clearly indicated as such” and “material that is outside the series […]

Yes, good timing. But I must admit that reading that list of conclusions makes me happy to be at an unconference – seriously! This is like prep for an accreditation visit.

I’d love to talk about this, too. I’m often amazed at how little imagination (if that’s the word for it) faculty have. There’s something about the training they get that becomes sort of … a cult of publishing a […]

Man, if scholars think online is less real or important they are in for a shock. Libraries have less and less in print in the way of journals. (It’s hard enough to afford any journals, let alone ones in more than […]

No hugging – fine. But … no throwing? Sigh.

Okay, this may be way off base for what others would like to do and may seem eye-avertingly naive and silly, but what the heck. I would love to have a conversation about what is essential when it comes to […]

Okay – got a pretty good deal at the Monaco. Thanks for the advice.

barbarafister commented on the post, Travel, on the site THATCamp Publishing 2011 right now

Interested in practical overnight accommodations that are not necessarily at the hotel – or will we be up all night brainstorming the publishing revolution? Maybe I can just hang out in the lobby all night. I’m […]

Kim Middleton kicked it off (was volunteered to kick it off) – what can we do to give students tools they can take with them; how can it be clear to students what it is we’re doing when we’re trying to develop […]

I totally want to take your class. I know that’s not what you asked, but … I totally want to take your class.

We’ve had really good luck with a political science course / weekly library lab pairing, but that’s to learn research tools and skills (and to talk about how information works). This is a required PS course and it […]

barbarafister commented on the post, Session Idea – Social Reading, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

This program looks interesting, though I’m a little disappointed that a patent is pending. And that it looks so much like Facebook.

I would think one could use Google Docs or add notes to a .pdf as a class […]

Intriguing. I am a lousy chef, though. (Tartuffe? what a …. peculiar choice.)

I have often had students contribute to a class blog as a writing assignment. There are two things that I’m wrestling with. (Well, at least two things…)

Students are really nervous about using an unfamiliar […]

barbarafister commented on the post, Session ideas: Finding one's way in DH, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

We’re exploring having a for-credit lab portion of a methods course that can really bore deep into not just how to find information but where does this stuff come from and what are the social / ethical / […]

barbarafister commented on the post, THAT Camp Session Topic Ideas – Digital Media, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

I’d love to learn more about digital storytelling. (More as in “anything.”)

barbarafister commented on the post, THATCamp LAC Session – Deliberation and Technology, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

This could be really interesting. I wonder if there’s some way to focus on forms of expression that encourage dialogue and forms that … don’t? I’m thinking of the way so much online chatter is so polarized and […]

barbarafister commented on the post, THATCamp session/topic ideas: librarian-faculty collaboration, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

I’m in! I think this is a great topic. I also want to think through not just how to find sources but how to really work with them given that students start out with so little scaffolding to make sense of what they […]

barbarafister commented on the post, Session Idea – Class and Professional Websites, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011 right now

I use Wordpress too and have used blogging as a writing assignment – though it usually feels like a bit of an afterthought for the students. Still, having the whole course online and asking students to write for a […]
