I'm pleased to announce that Working Together or Apart: Promoting the Next Generation of Digital Scholarship is now available for download [1] via the CLIR (Council on Library and Information Resources) website.
Working Together is the final report from a symposium sponsored by the NEH and CLIR. The symposium was held on September 15th, 2008, and brought together 30 leading scholars [2] to discuss research challenges in the humanities, social sciences, and computation. The report includes a terrific overview of the symposium written by Amy Friedlander of CLIR as well as a series of original papers commissioned for the meeting. The papers cover a wide range of topics that should be of great interest to the humanities research community:
- Tools for Thinking: ePhilology and Cyberinfrastructure, by Gregory Crane, Alison Babeu, David Bamman, Lisa Cerrato, Rashmi Singhal
- The Changing Landscape of American Studies in a Global Era, by Caroline Levander
- A Whirlwind Tour of Automated Language Processing for the Humanities and Social Sciences, by Douglas W. Oard.
- Information Visualization: Challenge for the Humanities, by Maureen Stone.
- Art History and the New Media: Representation and the Production of Humanistic Knowledge, by Stephen Murray.
- Social Attention in the Age of the Web, by Bernardo A. Huberman .
- Digital Humanities Centers: Loci for Digital Scholarship, by Diane M. Zorich.
My particular thanks go to Amy Friedlander at CLIR and Joel Wurl from the NEH for their tremendous work putting this together.
