TAN: How does one reference a location in an electronic book on Kindle or iPad?
by O'Donnell, Dan 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi all, Good question from a student: if she is referencing a specific passage in a book on a Kindle that (apparently) has no pages or paragraph numbers, what does she do? She says Kindle has something called "locations" but it isn't clear to me if these are canonical or more like arbitrary bookmarks from how she is describing them (I don't have any ereaders, and so don't know). Anybody know what you are supposed to do? I guess she could count paragraphs if it was that important, or, as with a very long webpage, just skip providing a location more precise than the entire work on the theory that you could full-text-search for it. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Co-Chair, Digital Initiatives Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America President-elect (English), Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs (http://sdh-semi.org/) Founding Director (2003-2009), Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidential) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

It will examine some of the approaches and tools that are available to editors of digital texts and the possibilities for collaborative editing online. It will suggest practical solutions to some of the challenges faced by editors in the digital age, and explore how 'editions' might evolve in the age of crowd-sourcing and deep linking of data. 1.00 Lunch 2.00 Panel session Eleonora Litta Modignani and Paul Spence (Centre for Computing in the Humanities, Kings College London) Digital editing of the Early English Laws Stuart Dunn (Centre for e-Research, Kings College London) Connecting Historical Authorities with Links, Contexts and Entities (CHALICE) Bruce Tate (British History Online, Institute of Historical Research) ReScript a platform for the collaborative online editing of historical texts 3.30 Tea and coffee 3.50 Discussion 4.30 Close If you would like to attend the workshop, email Jenny Benham (Jenny.Benham(a)sas.ac.uk).
