Excited to see my essay on digital scholarship in the MLA journal, Notes, has been published! Read it at https://doi.org/10.1353/not.2023.a905313. #digitalscholarship #musiclibraries

Another general question for folks in #HigherEd #DataVis #DigitalHumanities #DigitalScholarship #AcademicLibraries :

For those who teach any sort of Intro to Data Visualization workshop/series, what applications are you teaching these days? I'm liking @datawrapper a lot but am also trying to think about what students are likely to encounter in industry, other classes, etc.

(Today is apparently the day where I just put big questions out into the Mastodon/Tech/Academic universe and hope someone catches them... also known as semester/syllabus planning day. Sorry!)

LC Labs is hiring a Program Specialist: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/742171900. It looks to be fully remote!

Attending my first in-person conference since 2019. Mostly here to run IRL/hybrid meetings for the ACRL #DigitalScholarship Section.

I've got mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it's been lovely + generative to connect in person w folks whose work align/intersect w mine (admittedly a smaller number of people than pre-pandemic). On the other hand, I'm avoiding the most conferency stuff -- large exhibit halls, indoor dining, main stage talks -- because I don't feel safe (too few of us are masked). And the hybrid meetings I ran had more people in the Zoom than in the physical room. I'm uncomfortable w the environmental impact of flying halfway across the country to host 2 hybrid meetings & 1 IRL social event.

I've struggled lately to carve out space to truly be present at virtual conferences, but in-person conferences need radical transformation (regional parallel mini-conferences? truly hybrid conferences that are 100% accessible?).

Also, my hotel room has 2 bathrooms? 🤔

The registration deadline for #ACH2023 has been extended to Tuesday, June 27th. There's still time to register and join us next week for three days of #digitalhumanities #digitalscholarship presentations and virtual world networking! https://ach2023.ach.org/en/registration/

I’m looking forward to a workshop with Ethan Kleinberg, next week, exploring Archive Fever in the digital age. It’s a rare thing to have the chance to discuss and think about these things in such illustrious company.

If you’d like to join us on-or-off-line, you can find out a little more about it here: https://digitalscholarship.web.ox.ac.uk/event/archive-fever-mal-darchive

Some nice examples of use cases for data/text mining in academic libraries. Especially useful as a nice introduction for those just beginning to explore.

#AcademicLibraries #DigitalScholarship

Hey #mapping, #digitalHumanities, #digitalScholarship, #counterMapping, #gis folks, what are you using for collaborative mapping? Anything that can allow user-generated points and also the ability for the vetting of said user-generated content (because people 🫠) ?

#introduction Hello! I work in #highered supporting #researchcomputing and other #technology for #research. My current focus in on #digitalhumanties and #digitalscholarship. By training I am a #herpetologist and #evolutionarybiologist with interest in #phylogenetics and #naturalhistory. In my spare time, I am interested in #gardening #nativeplants, #photography #macro, #wildlife, #landscape and #wine and #whiskey including #fermentation

Today, I (with my research partner) presented the first part of some research we've been working on about software selection policies in academic #libraries. We're thinking about #DigitalScholarship / #DigitalHumanities digital tools from a perspective of being part of collection development but adapted to software. Few libraries have developed selection policies for software. If any #librarians or people in relevant roles here have one that you use and would like to share, let me know!

‼️Reminder ‼️
10 days till the proposal deadline for our Special Issue, “Turning It off and Back On Again: Speculative Digital Librarianship”
