Advice on terminology
by O'Donnell, Dan 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Hi all, I have a question from a colleague. One of the departments at uleth wants to set up a whole new series of cultural courses focussing on the Spanish speaking world but distinct from their Spanish language offerings--similar to a classics vs Greek and Latin distinction. For a variety of bureaucratic reasons they need a new designation other than SPAN, which is used for courses in Spanish. The decision within the department (most of whom are native Spanish speakers from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Uruguay) was to call this programme Hispanic studies (HPST). But a non-native speaker of Spanish has since warned the administration that Hispanic is a derogatory term and they have asked for a double check. What do people on this list think? Is 'Hispanic studies' a poor choice of terminology? Is there a better term? We don't have anybody teaching Portuguese, and so want to emphasise that this is Spanish-speaking culture we are studying. We're not sure the term derogatory (or if it is, that it is derogatory anywhere other than the U.S.). But we certainly don't want to stand on any bombs. Any advice. -- Sent from my phone using swipe typographical error production technology. Daniel Paul O'Donnell Department of English University of Lethbridge

Advice on getting information about Scholarly Journal/Communication conference out to potential participants?
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi all, I have a question. I'm on the board at Force11.org, a society dedicated to the advancement of scholarly and scientific communication. It holds a really interesting, interdisciplinary conference each year that brings together people in the humanities and sciences, from commercial presses and non-profit journals, and so on, for what has in the past been an extremely interesting meeting. Among the highlights are the "$1k challenges": a competition for ideas that Force11 then gives $1000 to support. Since Force11 started in the Natural Sciences and in Western Europe and North America, it is particularly interested in promoting participation from people outside these groups. It has an extremely well-funded student bursary programme, for example. Can anybody on this list recommend places where I could send information about the conference and the call? The meeting will be 12-13 Jan in Oxford (and will involve a showing of the first volume of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, the first scholarly journal, which was published 350 years ago next year). For more information on the meeting, see https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2015. The deadline for abstracts is November 15 and the deadline for posters in Dec. 1. -dan -- From my Ubuntu notebook Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Special Issue Announcement and Call for Guest Editorial Committee Member Nominations
by Heidi Elaine Dowding 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Dear All, I'm sending out the call below in hopes that some subscribers to globaloutlookdh are in the library community or know colleagues who are. Please forward and nominate as much as possible, I want to find great people and build a really strong special issue. Thanks, Heidi Dowding _________ The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future. Discussions on the Code4Lib listserv and keynotes by Valerie Aurora and Sumana Harihareswara at Code4Lib 2014 show that diversity is a topic of ongoing importance to the Code4Lib community. A recent editorial <http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/9345> in the Code4Lib Journal by Ron Peterson originally sparked discussion of the idea for a special issue among the journal’s editorial committee; the demographic breakdown of both the author community and the committee itself laid bare the fact that diversity is a major challenge even in communities that are highly supportive. With this in mind, the Code4Lib Journal will present a special issue on diversity within library technology as its 28th publication, to be published in April 2015. The Editorial Committee recognizes the value that different backgrounds and experiences bring to our editorial process. We also recognize a lack of diverse voices represented among us, so we are seeking applications and nominations for guest editors to help shape and curate this special issue. Guest editors will collaborate with members of the Editorial Committee on soliciting, reviewing, selecting, and editing articles as well as co-authoring an editorial with the Coordinating Editor. We are seeking individuals with a demonstrated commitment to forwarding diversity and inclusivity in library technology; editorial/writing experience is preferable, but not necessary. Work as a guest editor will involve around ten hours of work per month, running from December/January through April 2015. As part of the guest editorial committee, you will define the process and criteria for selecting articles as well as contribute to the issue’s editorial introduction. You will also be able to work closely with selected authors in order to provide suggestions and help develop the issue’s articles. The journal’s regular editorial committee will provide assistance in this process as second readers and sounding boards, but you will be the main driving force behind the success of the issue. We will begin accepting applications immediately, and will close the call once we have built a strong guest editorial committee. To apply for a spot or nominate someone else, please email your/the nominee’s CV and a brief letter of interest to journal(a)code4lib.org. Your letter should address these two basic questions: 1) What is your/the nominee’s background in diversity in library tech? 2) What is your/the nominee’s potential contribution to the special issue? If you have any questions, contact us by email at journal(a)code4lib.org or email me, coordinating editor for the special issue, directly ( dowdingh(a)gmail.com). -- *Heidi Elaine Dowding, MLIS* www.thegloballibrarian.com | @theglobal_lib <http://twitter.com/theglobal_lib>

Of interest to some here. Note the emphasis on multi-lingualism. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [dm-l] FW: events: The Scholarly Digital Edition and the Humanities workshop- Rome, 3-5 December Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 16:42:24 +0100 From: Mr. Federico Caria <federico.caria(a)live.it> To: dm-l(a)uleth.ca <dm-l(a)uleth.ca> Apologies for cross posting. I am pleased to announce the 3-days workshop organized by DigiLab, La Sapienza - DiXiT Marie Curie Network: *The Scholarly Digital Edition and the Humanities. Theoretical approaches and alternative tools.* The event will be held at DigiLab La Sapienza, Rome, 3-5 December 2014. Vetreria Sciarra Via dei Volsci 122, 00185 Roma Room 110 The aim of this workshop is to present a critical approach to the digital representation of textual artefacts in the context of Humanities and Social Sciences. While the imperatives of digitization are affecting at a global level our cultural organizations and institutions, it seems necessary to introduce a socio-cultural reflection into the realm of the scholarly digital edition. The workshop is organized in practical and theoretical sessions led by Desmond Schmidt (Queensland University of Technology), Paolo Monella (Università di Palermo) e Domenico Fiormonte (Università Roma Tre). Participants will be guided through the realization of a digital product, experimenting with some innovative digital editions tools and platforms. The workshop is open to all students registered for postgraduate and doctoral programs (PhD or equivalent) anywhere in the world working in the field of Digital Humanities and Social Sciences. Some basic experience in scholarly editing and textual criticism is recommended. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required for all applicants. Twelve positions are reserved for DiXiT fellows. The format of the workshop is multicultural, i.e. participants and speakers will be free to speak in their mother tongue or instead use English as lingua franca. All teaching material will be translated in English, except original cultural artifacts. Given the practical nature of the workshop we can accommodate up to 25 participants.
