The cultural act of reading is in flux. The dynamic, contextual
framework that is the text viewed on screen challenges our understanding
of the page. Some technologies seek to emulate the page, to turn off the
back light and enable reading outdoors in sunlight. Other digital
technologies aim to both sustain and augment the reader’s experience of
the text, moving beyond the paper page and into a new conceptualisation
of reading, with layers of texts, with choices of views, with integrated
multi and social media. This presentation explores how we once read and
how we now read often multivalent texts on multiple screens. I query
what has changed in these new modes of knowledge representation, and
what remains constant, and posit challenges for future scholarly discourse.

DigiPal (Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London) One-Day Symposium
Dear all,
As the days darken and the wind starts to bite, we thought it might be worth remembering that there's more
to a UK November than fireworks and cold weather. With that in mind, the DigiPal team at King's College London,
in association with the Department of English, Linguistics and Cultural Studies, University of Westminster, are
delighted to announce the programme for their "Digital Approaches to Medieval Script and Image" Symposium.
"Digital Approaches to Medieval Script and Image"
Date: Thursday 22nd November 2012
Venue: University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, W1W 6UW (Room CLG.09)
Time: 9.30am-5.30pm
If you haven't registered for the Symposium as yet, then now would seem to be the ideal moment to snap up one of the
few remaining places. Registration is free -- all you have to do is send an email (with your name and affiliation as you would
like them to appear on your name badge) to digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk<http://kcl.ac.uk/>
Coffee and registration will be at 9.30am and the Symposium will start at 9.50am. There will be refreshments, but lunch
isn't included (we wanted to keep registration free, and it turns out that there's no such thing as a free lunch).
Looking forward to seeing you on the 22nd,
Stewart Brookes and Peter Stokes (King's College London) and Louise Sylvester (University of Westminster)

Good afternoon,
I'm an MSIS candidate at the University of Texas at Austin, School of
Information. My faculty sponsor (Dr. Tanya Clement) and I are working on a
project that focuses on evaluation methods and standards for digital
scholarly projects, with a particular emphasis on those that use the Text
Encoding Initiative standard. We would like to gather responses from the
TEI community (as well as the general Digital Humanities community) in
order to understand more about how digital scholarly projects are currently
evaluated. To this end, I have put together a survey and would be grateful
if you would take the time to answer a few questions:
https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b89IXl4msVon4u9
The survey should take no more than 20 minutes of your time. If you take
the survey and would be open to discussing this topic further, please
contact me at the following email address and we can arrange a virtual
interview via Skype at your convenience: SPfannenschmidt(a)utexas.edu.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this project; we value your
insights.
Best,
Sarah Pfannenschmidt, MSIS candidate, University of Texas at Austin School

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.
