by Spence, Paul 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

[Apologies for cross-posting] The Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) is seeking to appoint three creative, enthusiastic professionals to develop web-based applications bringing together materials from existing database-and XML-based resources. You would be working closely with colleagues in CCH and in humanities and social science departments. CCH is an academic department in the School of Humanities. It is responsible for undergraduate and MA programmes and runs a PhD. As part of its very active research programme, the Centre is involved in a large number of externally funded collaborative research projects. These posts are intended to support the technical development of a number of these projects. Details about the posts are provided below: ----------------------------------------- [Post 1] TECHNICAL PROJECT OFFICER (Web Application Development). G6/AAV/019/08 Experience in design and in building environments based on database technologies is essential. The department uses primarily Java and J2EE technologies to publish database materials on the web, and knowledge of these technologies is also critical. Web interfaces are developed with the use of well established JavaScript/AJAX frameworks and in accordance with good XHTML and CSS practices, and experience with these are highly desirable. Familiarity with XML and XSLT is desirable. Proven experience in creating integrated research applications using a range of technologies would be a significant advantage. In addition, a good understanding - and preferably experience - of how research is conducted in the humanities and social sciences will be valuable. For more information about this post, see below: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/pertra/vacancy/external/pers_detail.php?jobinde… This is a one-year post Closing Date: 12 January 2009 ----------------------------------------- [Post 2] TECHNICAL PROJECT OFFICER (Web Application Development).

(Medieval) archeology mailing lists?
by Neven Jovanović 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Dear all, for three years now I teach a "Digital Medievalist" course on a PhD Medieval Studies programme here in Zagreb, Croatia. I deal mainly with texts, but this year I have a student who is more interested in archeology (medieval, of course). Could you suggest some good archeology mailing lists / Google groups vel sim. --- medieval, or, I guess, "general practice" --- where this person could learn, and follow, how and what is discussed? Yours, Neven Jovanovic University of Zagreb Hrvatska / Croatia

Announcing the UCLA CMRS Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts
by Matthew Fisher 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

It is with great pleasure that we would like to draw your attention to the Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts. Hosted by UCLA's Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, the Catalogue seeks to provide a technological solution to a simple and rather delightful "problem": the breathtaking increase in the number of medieval manuscripts available on the web in their entirety, but in a bewildering range of venues and formats. Currently, almost one thousand manuscripts, digitized and available in their entirety on the web, have been entered into the Catalogue. Users can search the Catalogue on basic information about manuscripts, such as the location, language, or date of a codex, or browse through the complete Catalogue. We welcome feedback on your experience using the website, and particularly welcome suggestions for sites not currently represented in the Catalogue. The Catalogue can be accessed at: http://manuscripts.cmrs.ucla.edu More information about the project: http://manuscripts.cmrs.ucla.edu/about.php , or by contacting Matthew Fisher at fisher[at]humnet[dot]ucla[dot]edu Regards, Matthew Fisher Assistant Professor Department of English University of California, Los Angeles
