Call for papers/posters: Digital editions: representation, interoperability, text analysis and infrastructures
by Roberto Rosselli Del Turco 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Digital editions: representation, interoperability, text analysis and infrastructures Fifth AIUCD Annual Conference 7-9 settembre 2016 Aula Magna S. Trentin, Ca’ Dolfin, Dorsoduro 3825/e - 30123 Venezia CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS [Full announcement available on: http://www.aiucd2016.unive.it/ (work in progress) http://www.umanisticadigitale.it/edizioni-digitali-rappresentazione-interop…] The AIUCD 2016 conference is devoted to the representation and study of the text under different points of view (resources, analysis, infrastructures), in order to bring together philologists, historians, digital humanists, computational linguists, logicians, computer scientists and software engineers and discuss about the text. It is time for research infrastructures to be able to guarantee interoperability and integration between the instruments for philological studies and the instruments for the analysis of large textual corpora, breaking down the rigid barriers between digital and computational philology on the one hand, and corpus linguistics on the other hand. As a consequence, without ruling out other possible topics belonging to the Digital Humanities area, we solicit your contributions (talks and posters) on these topics: _Representation and Interoperability_ * Which digital representation models prove most effective for overcoming the dichotomy between diplomatic and critical editions? * How to integrate multimedia products (such as 2D images, 3D models, audio, video) in the digital edition? * How to apply the methods of digital philology to multimedia products (such as film quotations, restored versions, musical variations, etc.)? * How to build a constructive dialogue between traditional philologists and digital philologists? _Text Analysis and Digital Objects Processing_ * Which extensions are needed, in order to apply the methods of computational linguistics to the study of variants? * How to create linguistic and textual analysis chains starting from texts that present variants? * How can computational linguistic tools be used to bring out regions of interest in large amounts of text on which to focus the attention? * What is the state of art for the analysis of digital objects? * How to assess the quality of analyses produce by means of the crowdsourcing method? _Infrastructures_ What can research infrastructures offer for the management of digital editions? How to conduct a study of requirements for infrastructures so that they are increasingly accessible to both digital humanists and traditional philologists? How can Digital humanities scholars be put in contact with the community of traditional scholars? _Communities and Collaboration_ * Which benefits do the interaction and the involvement of teachers, high school and university students in digital editions projects bring to research activities? * How can digital libraries collaborate to create, access, share and reuse digital resources? * How may teachers and students get interested in the dissemination of research results? * How do digital libraries contribute to the dissemination of research results? * How to prepare a shared syllabus, in order to train digital humanists to become aware of aware of the problems and potentialities of digital editions? * Which are the best practices to enroll a broader audience in the use of digital editions? *Abstract submission* The contributions (talks and posters), to be proposed in the form of an abstract of 1000 words maximum, in PDF format, must be loaded through the EasyChair Web site at this URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiucd2016. Abstracts will be accepted in Italian or in English. The deadline for submission of abstracts to the Programme Committee is scheduled for midnight on May 31, 2016. Information on the acceptance will be communicated to the authors by June 30, 2016. *Abstract preparation and evaluation* The abstract should describe the objectives of the contribution, a brief reference to the state of the art, the methodology adopted, and - if possible - the results achieved or expected. It should also contain a bibliography. The call for papers welcome three types of contributions: (1) full paper, mainly to discuss innovative methodologies; (2) short paper, mainly to present accomplished research outputs; (3) poster, mainly to present early and innovative work in progress. The conference proposals will be selected through peer-reviewing by at least two Italian and/or foreign scholars expert in the fields of (Digital) Humanities and/or Computer Science. At the end of the evaluation process, the Scientific Committee may decide to move an accepted proposal to a different category. *Instructions for talks* Full papers will last 30 minutes (20-25 min + 5-10 min for questions). Short papers will last 20 minutes (15 min + 5 min for questions). The conference room is equipped with a computer, a projector, and internet connection. *Instructions for posters* Poster will be accepted in Italian or in English: * The best configuration of your poster is A1 vertical (841mm x 594mm). * Posters will be displayed in a dedicated space at the Conference venue. Display panels will be provided. Please bring your printed poster as we are unable to provide printing service. * Display panels for posters will be ready by Wednesday, 7th September 2016 at 10:00 am and all posters should be put up before 2:00 pm. * Personal laptop computers may be used at the poster display area. Should your presentation include a laptop, please inform the organizing committee on acceptance of your proposal. * Specific sessions will be scheduled in the conference programme for authors to provide the audience with a quick intro (max 2 minutes) to their poster. Further information will be progressively published on the conference site: http://www.aiucd2016.unive.it/.

Beyond the Library: Agency, Practice, and Society Preliminary Conference Program
by Harriet Sonne de Torrens 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

*La version française suit* *Please circulate widely* *Excuse cross-posting* Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the conference organizing committee, I am pleased to present the preliminary program for CAPAL16: Beyond the Library: Agency, Practice, and Society, the third annual conference of the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL). The program can be viewed in full online at: http://conference.capalibrarians.org/program/ In keeping with the Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences Congress 2016 theme, Energizing Communities, CAPAL16 seeks to look "Beyond the Library" to rethink how academic librarians engage with their communities within which our institutions are situated or those with whom we share disciplinary concerns or approaches. Such communities may be physical, epistemic, academic, or imagined communities, communities of identity, or those communities around us and to which we contribute. We are honored to welcome keynote speakers Leroy Little Bear, Ry Moran, and Dr. Bonnie Stewart. Long-time advocate for First Nations education, Leroy Little Bear served as Director of the Harvard University Native American Program, and helped to design the Bachelor of Management in First Nations Governance at the University of Lethbridge. Dr. Bonnie Stewart serves as the Coordinator for Adult Teaching for the University of Prince Edward Island, where she directs and develops professional education and career development initiatives for a suite of adult education programs. Ry Moran is Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba, which is tasked with preserving, protecting and providing access to all materials, statements and documents collected by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). A Metis and graduate of the University of Victoria where he studied political science and history, Moran worked in traditional language preservation with a focus on Michif. In 2008, he received a National Aboriginal Role-Model Award, which led an invitation to Rideau Hall and his involvement with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as Director of Statement Gathering, and eventually Directorship of the National Research Centre. Registration for the conference is now open and available at the following link: http://congress2016.ca/register Note that Congress fees are cheaper if you register before March 31st. Please visit our website for further information and updates: http://conference.capalibrarians.org<http://conference.capalibrarians.org/home/> The CAPAL Research & Scholarship Committee is pleased to offer a CAPAL 2016 Preconference Workshop at the University of Calgary on May 28, 2016. For further information and updates, see the pre-conference workshop webpage: http://conference.capalibrarians.org/preconference-workshop/ Also, follow us on Twitter at #CAPAL16 and join our Facebook page at https://goo.gl/dedxUU<https://goo.gl/dedxUU> to connect with others attending. *************************************** *Prière de faire circuler à vos réseaux* *S-v-p excusez les envois multiples* Chères/chers collègues, Au nom du comité organisateur du congrès, je suis heureuse de vous présenter le programme préliminaire de ACBAP16 : Au-delà de la Bibliothèque: action, pratique et société, la troisième conférence annuelle de l'Association canadienne des bibliothécaires académiques professionnels (ACBAP). Le programme complet peut être consulté en ligne à l'adresse suivante: http://conference.capalibrarians.org/programme/ En continuité avec le thème du Congrès 2016, L'énergie des communautés, ACBAP16 vise à aller « Au-delà de la bibliothèque » afin de repenser les interactions des bibliothécaires académiques avec les collectivités soutenues par nos institutions ou avec celles qui partagent nos préoccupations et approches disciplinaires. Il peut s'agir de communautés physiques, épistémiques, universitaires ou imaginées, ainsi que de collectivités auxquelles nous contribuons autour de nous. Nous sommes honorés d'accueillir les conférenciers Leroy Little Bear, Ry Moran, et Dre Bonnie Stewart. Militant depuis longtemps pour l'éducation des Premières Nations, Leroy Little Bear a été directeur du programme « Native American » de l'Université Harvard et il a contribué à la conception du baccalauréat « Management in First Nations Governance » à l'Université de Lethbridge. Dre Bonnie Stewart est coordinatrice à l'enseignement des adultes à l'Université de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Elle dirige et développe des initiatives d'éducation et de développement de carrière professionnelle pour plusieurs programmes d'éducation des adultes. Elle donne des cours dans les domaines des technologies, des communications, des pédagogies numériques et de l'éducation des adultes. Ry Moran est le directeur du Centre national pour la vérité et réconciliation (CNVR), à l'Université du Manitoba, qui a pour mandat de préserver, de protéger et de donner accès à tout le matériel, déclarations et documents rassemblés par la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada (CVR). Membre de la Nation Métisse et diplômé de l'Université de Victoria où il a étudié la science politique et l'histoire, Ry Moran a travaillé à la préservation des langues traditionnelles et s'est intéressé plus particulièrement au michif. En 2008, il a reçu un prix national des modèles autochtones, qui l'a conduit à être invité à Rideau Hall ainsi qu'à son implication auprès de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation en tant que directeur de la consignation des témoignages et éventuellement à son rôle de directeur du Centre national de recherche. L'inscription à la conférence peut se faire dès maintenant à l'adresse suivante :http://congres2016.ca/inscriptions Veuillez noter que les frais d'inscription au congrès sont moins élevés si vous vous inscrivez avant le 31 mars.

ICFHR2016 Competition on the Classification of Medieval Handwritings in Latin Script
by Dominique Stutzmann 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Dear colleagues and friends, As part of the competitions organized for the 15th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition, we organise a competition focussed on (Latin) Medieval Scripts, as described here: ICFHR2016 Competition on the Classification of Medieval Handwritings in Latin Script | Écriture médiévale & numérique <http://oriflamms.hypotheses.org/1388> The challenge for Computer Scientists is to identify correctly the main script types (e.g. uncial, caroline, textualis, humanistic), having two aims in mind: 1) automated cataloguing in large digital libraries, not only for whole volumes, but even at a page level; 2) preparing text recognition. As many of you, we are well aware that the given categories are far from representing the complexity and the dynamics, but it is a first step. Best regards, Dominique Stutzmann, Marlène Helias-Baron, Florence Cloppet, Véronique Eglin, Nicole Vincent –– M. Dominique Stutzmann Chargé de recherche à l'Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS, UPR 841)

Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies Visiting Research Fellowships-Call for applications
by Ransom, Lynn 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

**apologies for cross-posting** The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) Visiting Research Fellowship program seeks applications for the 2016-2017 academic year. Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS aims to bring manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. Part of the Penn Libraries, SIMS oversees an extensive collection of pre-modern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections. SIMS also hosts the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg/index.html> and the annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age<http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium.html>. The SIMS Visiting Research Fellowships have been established to encourage research relating to the pre-modern manuscript collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, including the Schoenberg Collection. Affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, located near other manuscript-rich research collections (the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and the Rosenbach Museum and Library, among many others), and linked to the local and international scholarly communities, SIMS offers fellows a network of resources and opportunities for collaboration. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with SIMS staff, Penn faculty, and other medieval and early modern scholars in the Philadelphia area. Fellows will also be expected to present their research at Penn Libraries either during the term of the fellowship or on a selected date following the completion of the term. Applicants can apply to spend 1, 2, or 3 months at SIMS. Project proposals should demonstrate that the Libraries' pre-modern manuscript resources are integral to proposed research topics. Recipients will be expected to work on-site at Penn Libraries for the duration of their fellowship, excluding possible short research trips in support of the proposed project to nearby institutions. Proposals with a digital component are encouraged though not required. A total of $15,000 per year will be divided among up to 3 fellows in increments of $5,000 per month. Awards must be used between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017. Applications are due May 15, 2016. For more information on eligibility and the application process, go to: http://schoenberginstitute.org/visiting-research-fellowships.
