Documenting the links to our past through social media...
Last month I promised an update to my "Links" page with some additional attention directed towards archives, museums, historical societies, and related cultural organizations in Tennessee that use social media. Well, it's a work in progress, but I have finally updated this online list. This link list includes the traditional website links, but also includes social media icons hyperlinking to various outposts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, and YouTube. As I said, this is a work in progress, so if your cultural institution is not listed, please let me know. Social media can provide archives, museums, and heritage organizations with an effective way to collaborate with colleagues and share collections with the public.

The Social Life of Information
Lea Wade Science Librarian and Chair of Reference University of New Orleanslwade@uno.edu The Social Life of Information. John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid. Futurists have been foretelling the demise of print materials and the inevitable dissolution of libraries for years. The digital library is an example of the importance in understanding social constructs within a technological world. A sympathetic look at the people who make the information age possible and worthwhile, this book is recommended for all university and public libraries.
DA|Scholarly Society Dedicated to the Study of American Literature, Culture, and Digital Media
Dear Colleagues, After a few years at the helm of the Digital Americanists, we three have agreed it is time for new leadership for the group. We were gratified to see the society grow and to organize several engaging sessions at the American Literature Association Conference during our tenure. We are grateful to all of you who have presented work or attended those sessions: DA is a wonderful community we are proud to have led. Due to other commitments, however, it has been difficult of late for us to give the Digital Americanists the time and attention it requires. To that end, we would like to accept nominations for all three board positions: president, vice president, and treasurer. To nominate someone for one of the society’s positions, please email Ryan Cordell at r.cordell@neu.edu by February 15, 2016. Sincerely, Matthew Wilkens (President) Ryan Cordell (Vice President) Matthew Lavin (Secretary/Treasurer) Deadline for submissions is Monday, January 19, 2015. Our sessions:
Développer les sciences humaines numériques au Québec
Louis-Pascal Rousseau, Ph. D, Chercheur postdoctorant au McNeil Center for Early American Studies (Université de Pennsylvanie) et Collaborateur de recherche au Laboratoire SHANTI (Université de Virginie) Version PDF Louis-Pascal Rousseau chemine dans le monde de la recherche en histoire depuis une quinzaine d’années. De ses années passées à l’Université Laval jusqu’à celles qui l’ont mené à l’Université de Pennsylvanie ainsi qu’à l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales à Paris, il a acquis une riche expérience dans les nouvelles pratiques de l’histoire. À l’heure du 2.0, quelles sont les nouvelles manières de penser la discipline historique? C’est dans ce contexte que s’organisent présentement dans les universités un peu partout autour du monde, particulièrement aux États-Unis, des groupes de recherche en « Digital Humanities » ou « sciences humaines numériques ». Le milieu où je me trouve est idéal pour travailler et se former dans ce nouveau champ d’activités.

Humanités numériques : so what ?
Geoffrey Rockwell s'énervait récemment contre les critiques - un peu convenues - de Stanley Fish ou - très féroces - de Matthew Reisz à l'encontre des Humanités numériques. Les deux universitaires adressent la même critique récurrente aux Humanités numériques (là même que je faisais moi-même) : elles doivent faire la démonstration de l'importance de leur contribution... Mais les universitaires installés qui mènent cette critique ne tiennent-ils pas un discours mortifère sur l'utilité des contributions aux sciences humaines ?, s'interroge Rockwell. Sur ce principe, on pourrait tout à fait demander à quoi sert l'astronomie... Ou demander des comptes à la recherche contre le cancer... En fait, estime Rockwell, "maintenant que mêmes les chercheurs les moins au fait des humanités numériques ont noté qu'il y avait beaucoup d'activité dans ce domaine, ils se précipitent pour le juger". Qu'est-ce que les humanités numériques et comment peuvent-elles nous aider à penser ? Share and Enjoy
