Dear all, You may be interested in our forthcoming workshop: Digital Impacts: How to Measure and Understand the Usage and Impact of Digital Content<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/events/?id=428> Friday 20 May 2011 09:30 - 16:00 Location: Jesus College, Ship Street Centre Lecture Theatre, Oxford Registration: Up to 100 places are available (register here<https://www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&cat…>).

Students wishing to attend can request a waiver of the registration fees by emailing: events(a)oii.ox.ac.uk<mailto:events@oii.ox.ac.uk> Sponsors: Joint Information Systems Committee<http://www.jisc.ac.uk/> About the workshop: The question of how we can measure and understand the usage and impact of digital content within the education sector is becoming increasingly important. Substantial investment goes into the creation of digital resources for research, teaching and learning and, in the current economic climate, both content creators, publishers as well as funding bodies are being asked to provide evidence of the value of the resources they've invested in. But how do we go about defining value and impact? Which metrics should we adopt to understand usage? When is a digital resource a well used resource? This one-day event will explore these and other key issues and showcase the work of the JISC-funded Impact and Embedding of Digitised Resources<http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/digitisation/impactembedding.aspx> programme. Speakers include: Melissa Highton<http://blogs.oucs.ox.ac.uk/melissa/abou/> (Oxford University Computing Services), Brian Kelly<http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/digital-impacts-2011/> (UKOLN), Dr Jane Winters<http://www.history.ac.uk/about/jane-winters> (Head of Publications, IHR), Professor David Robey<http://www.oerc.ox.ac.uk/people/david-robey> (Oxford e-Research Centre), Paola Marchionni<http://www.jisc.ac.uk/contactus/staff/paolamarchionni.aspx> (JISC), Dr Eric T. Meyer<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/?id=120> (Oxford Internet Institute), and Dr Kathryn Eccles<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/?id=138> (Oxford Internet Institute). The workshop is aimed at: · content creators and publishers · Information professionals and content managers in charge of maintaining and developing digital collections · librarians, archivists and institutional staff involved in digitisation efforts · researchers and research directors interested in learning about alternative methods of measuring impact · representatives of funding and evaluation bodies · early career researchers concerned about ways of demonstrating the impact of their online activities · those interested in understanding the impact of distributing materials online Further details are available at our website: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/events/?id=428 Please direct any queries to events(a)oii.ox.ac.uk<mailto:events@oii.ox.ac.uk> Dr Kathryn Eccles Research Fellow Oxford Internet Institute University of Oxford 1 St Giles Oxford OX1 3JS e-mail: kathryn.eccles(a)oii.ox.ac.uk<mailto:kathryn.eccles@oii.ox.ac.uk> Web: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/faculty.cfm?id=138 Telephone +44 (0) 1865 287210 Fax +44 (0) 1865 287 211 www.oii.ox.ac.uk<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/>

Sorting upper and lower case letters
by Dan Mosser 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

The Digital Index of Middle English Verse (iMEV: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/imev/Index.html) is now complete insofar as entering all the IMEV records, those of its Supplement, many new records, and most of the data collected for first-two and last-two lines of all witnesses except those in London archives. Now for some fine tuning... Since upper and lower case letters are recognized as distinct by a computer, I'm wondering if anyone on the list knows of a way to effect a sort that won't treat them as different. Thanks! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Mosser <dmosser(a)vt.edu> Office: Shanks 229 Snailmail: Department of English Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061-0112 VOICE: (540) 231-7753 FAX: (540) 231-5692 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by Albert Lloret 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

_Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures_ CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS _Digital Philology_ is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries, and periodizations. _Digital Philology_ also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results. _Digital Philology_ will have two issues per year, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. One of the issues will be open to all submissions, while the other one will be guest-edited and revolve around a thematic axis. Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 9,000 words in length, including footnotes and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation. _Digital Philology_ welcomes submissions for the 2012 and 2013 open issues. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph(a)jhu.edu, addressed to the Editor (Albert Lloret) and Managing Editor (Jeanette Patterson). _Digital Philology_ will also publish reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson(a)gmail.com.
