REMINDER Schoenberg Symposium Announcement
by Lynn Ransom 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 16-17, 2012 Taxonomies of Knowledge In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries are pleased to announce the 5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium considers the role of the manuscript in organizing and classifying knowledge. Like today's electronic databases, the medieval manuscript helped readers access, process, and analyze the information contained within the covers of a book. The papers presented at this symposium will examine this aspect of the manuscript book through a variety of topics, including the place of the medieval library in manuscript culture, the rise and fall of the 12th-century commentary tradition, diagrams, devotional practice, poetics, and the organization and use of encyclopedias and lexicons. Participants include: . Katharine Breen, Northwestern University . Mary Franklin-Brown, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities . Vincent Gillespie, University of Oxford . Alfred Hiatt, Queen Mary, University of London . William Noel, University of Pennsylvania . Sara S. Poor, Princeton University . Eric Ramirez-Weaver, University of Virginia . Yossef Schwartz, Tel Aviv University & The Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies . Peter Stallybrass, University of Pennsylvania . Emily Steiner, University of Pennsylvania . Sergei Tourkin, McGill University *Please note: due to some cancellations, the program has been revised.

by Albert Lloret 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures Call for Submissions, 2014 and 2015 Open Issues 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. The Johns Hopkins University Press publishes two issues of Digital Philology per year. One is open to all submissions, while the other one is guest-edited, and revolves 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 7,000 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 is welcoming submissions for its 2014 and 2015 open issues. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph(a)jhu.edu, addressed to the Managing Editor (Albert Lloret). Digital Philology also publishes manuscript studies and reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding manuscript studies may be addressed to Jeanette Patterson at jlp4(a)princeton.edu. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson(a)gmail.com.

Webcast presentation: History of DM and the development of MESA
by Dot Porter 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello DM list This is a bit of a late notice, but tomorrow at noon (EST) I'm going to be presenting a Digital Library Brown Bag locally (at Indiana University Bloomington): "Medievalists' Use of Digital Resources and the Development of the Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA)". The talk will be webcast, so if this looks interesting but you can't make it to Bloomington (and many can't) please feel free to join the webcast. The talk will also be recorded, and posted online soon after the event. I'll post the recording once it's live. I'm pasting the official announcement below, the instructions for joining the webcast are towards the bottom, just below the abstract. Thanks, Dot *** Greetings! Please join us Wednesday, October 3rd for a digital library brown bag presentation by Dot Porter. The presentation will be held at the Herman B Wells Library, room E174, from 12:00-1:00 -------------- Medievalists' Use of Digital Resources and the Development of MESA Dot Porter, Associate Director for Digital Library Content and Services Digital Library Program Wells Library, Room E174 The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) is a federated international community of scholars, project, institutions, and organizations engaged in digital scholarship within the field of medieval studies. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, MESA seeks both to provide a community for those engaged in digital medieval studies and to meet emerging needs of this community, including making recommendations on technological and scholarly standards for electronic scholarship, the aggregation of data, and the ability to discover and repurpose this data. This presentation will focus on the discovery aspect of MESA, and how it might serve the non-digital medievalist who may nevertheless be interested in finding and using digital resources. Starting with a history of medievalists and their interactions with digital technology as told through three data sets (the International Congress on Medieval Studies (first held in 1962), arts-humanities.net (a digital project database in the UK, sponsored by JISC and the Arts & Humanities Research Council), and two surveys, from 2002 and 2011, that looked specifically at medievalists' use of digital resources), I will draw out some potential issues that this history has for the current developers of digital resources for medievalists, and investigate how MESA might serve to address these issues. -------------- Presentation slides and audio will be available via the Connect Meeting Service (formerly known as "Breeze"). Go to <http://breeze.iu.edu/diglib> to view and listen to the presentation. If you are not a registered user for Connect Meeting/Breeze, select the "Enter as a Guest" option. -------------- The Digital Library Brown Bag series is held most Wednesdays this Fall 2012 semester.
