Fwd: AHDS Digitisation Workshops, Spring 2006 - booking open [UK]

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: AHDS Digitisation Workshops, Spring 2006 - booking open Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 13:48:08 -0000 From: Alastair Dunning <alastair.dunning(a)AHDS.AC.UK> Reply-To: Alastair Dunning <alastair.dunning(a)AHDS.AC.UK> To: AHDS-ALL(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK AHDS Digitisation Workshops, Spring 2006 http://ahds.ac.uk/workshops/ * London, 3rd May 2006 * Manchester, 10th May 2006 The Arts and Humanities Data Service is running a series of workshops designed to introduce projects to the key issues in digitisation. These are updated versions of previous workshops run by the AHDS. Many projects applying for funding or commencing digitisation are unsure of how to manage or deal with the various elements involved in the creation of digital data. The AHDS Digitisation Workshops aim to cover each of the relevant themes, giving delegates a coherent idea of how they should be organising their projects. This includes * Funding and Managing Projects * Data Capture * Metadata and Documentation * Depositing and Disseminating Resources * Copyright Staff from each of the AHDS Subject Centres will be present on the day and delegates may book surgery sessions with AHDS staff to speak about the issues facing their own project. Informal lunch and coffee breaks will also give delegates the chance to speak to AHDS staff and other delegates that are present. The workshops are open to any institution or individual who is planning or running a digitisation project, but they may be of special interest to those who are preparing an application for one of the funding schemes organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Joint Information Systems Committee or the British Academy. http://ahds.ac.uk/workshops/ Alastair Alastair Dunning Arts and Humanities Data Service King's College London 0207 848 1972 http://ahds.ac.uk/ -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk

RE: [dm-l] Refworks

It's true, Citation Manager is software for institutions to provide citation-management services to their members, rather than a package for personal citation management. Managing circulation is another problem; you might want to look into LibraryThing (an online commercial personal library management system) or, if you're a Mac user, try Delicious Library. http://www.librarything.com/ http://www.delicious-monster.com/ I haven't gone into these in detail, but my sense is that what you gain in collection management, you lose in full-featured academic citation formatting. There's some interesting work going in the OpenOffice group on developing the citation management system to handle citations the way academics need to, in a solid standards-based way that allows interoperability with other bibliographic systems. There's lots of information on their wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bibliographic_Software_and_Stan dards_Information Peter -----Original Message----- From: Daniel O'Donnell [mailto:caedmon@uleth.ca] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:21 AM To: Binkley, Peter Cc: Digital Medievalist Community mailing list Subject: RE: [dm-l] Refworks Peter, This is primarily library software... though it looks VERY good from the screenshots and in my case, I've been using my citation manager also as a circulation manager (it's a long story, but... I was getting tired of swearing I wouldn't lend books, doing it anyway, and then losing them, so I dicided instead to LoC them, but card pockets in the back and make people "sign them out"--works like a charm). Do you know/does anybody here use this as a personal citation manager? -d On Fri, 2006-24-02 at 11:22 -0700, Binkley, Peter wrote: > An open-source alternative to RefWorks is Citation Manager, part of the > reSearcher suite: > > http://researcher.sfu.ca/index.php/cm > > It doesn't have all of RefWorks' features but it is quite good.

Fwd: Proposal to add medievalist characters to the UCS
by Yin Liu 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

All best wishes to Everson et al, who have been doing very good work through the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative, etc. But is anyone working on _late_ medieval English characters? Middle English has some issues of its own. -- Yin Liu Department of English University of Saskatchewan 9 Campus Drive Saskatoon SK S7N 5A5 Canada (306) 966-1835 yin.liu(a)usask.ca

I know some medievalists who are real characters -- but somehow I don't thank that's what the intent is here. > Proposal to add medievalist characters to the UCS
