On July 10 and 11, I attended the 7th JISC/CNI conference, "Transforming the User Experience," held in Belfast, UK. The meeting brought together over 130 delegates from over 40 universities in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom to explore major developments on the use of information technology in teaching, learning and research on both sides of the Atlantic.

Three screens. Smart phones. Locative media. I recently participated in Beyond Broadcast, Silverdocs, and the Digital Media Conference. At each of these conferences, there was lots of buzz about applications and content for mobile phones.
According to a market summary by m:metrics, there are 226 million mobile phone subscribers in the United States. Twenty-seven percent of these subscribers use their phone for Internet browsing or downloading. Internet use is expected to rise dramatically in the near future. Most phones in use (about ninety percent) h ...

Just a quick announcement that the next Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants deadline will be October 8, 2008. I should note that a slightly revised version of the guidelines will go up on the NEH website in August. However, the revisions will be quite minor, so please do consult last year's guidelines in the meantime as you begin to plan your application. I will send out another announcement as soon as the new guidelines are ready.

The above title, "How to Get a Grant from NEH," is not my own, but from an article in the July/August issue of Humanities magazine, now available online at the NEH Web site. If you've not had the opportunity to attend a grants workshop or discuss a project with a program officer, this is a great introduction to some of the most important--and often most overlooked--bits of advice when applying for a grant (such as "Read the guidelines!"). Also included is an overview of the review process, an introduction to Grants.gov, and the reminder that NEH program officers are always available to answer questions. Highly recommended reading for all potential applicants.

The NEH's Division of Research is looking to fill one or more vacant program officer positions. As a program officer, you will advise applicants about NEH grant programs, review and analyze grant proposals, select panelists, attend conferences, perform other outreach events on behalf of the NEH, help the NEH formulate new grant programs, etc. The job is located here in beautiful Washington, D.C. I will also note that we have an ice cream shop right in the lobby of our building, should that factor into your decision making process.
We are quite keen on finding some candidates who are very knowledgeable about digital humanities. More and more humanities research involves the use of digital technology. So experience with databases, digitization, humanities computing, data mining, or other areas of technology as it applies to humanities research would be extremely helpful.
