ACLS Launches Program to Extend the Reach of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities
by Daniel O'Donnell 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi all, This looks extremely relevant for our group: up to $150k to - Extend existing digital projects and resources with content that adds diversity or interdisciplinary reach; - Develop new systems of making existing digital resources available to broader audiences and/or scholars from diverse institutions; - Foster new team-based work or collaborations that allow scholars from institutions with limited cyberinfrastructure to exploit digital resources; or - Create new forms and sites for scholarly engagement with the digital humanities and new ways to document and recognize participant engagement. The second, third, and fourth topics seem particularly relevant to us. I'd be happy to help anybody who wanted to work on this. The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to announce a new program promoting digital scholarship in the humanities. The ACLS Digital Extension Grant program, made possible by the generous assistance of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will support teams of scholars as they enhance existing digital projects with the goal of engaging new audiences across a range of academic communities and institutions. The Digital Extension Grant program builds upon the successes of ACLS’s recently concluded Digital Innovation Fellowship program, which over ten years funded 60 scholars pursuing computationally sophisticated approaches to humanistic research. In recognition of the collaborative nature of much digital scholarship, ACLS has designed the Digital Extension Grant program so that it provides flexible support at the level of the digital research project as opposed to the individual scholar. ACLS Digital Extension Grants may: - Extend existing digital projects and resources with content that adds diversity or interdisciplinary reach; - Develop new systems of making existing digital resources available to broader audiences and/or scholars from diverse institutions; - Foster new team-based work or collaborations that allow scholars from institutions with limited cyberinfrastructure to exploit digital resources; or - Create new forms and sites for scholarly engagement with the digital humanities and new ways to document and recognize participant engagement. ACLS will award up to six Digital Extension Grants in this competition year. Each grant provides up to $150,000 in funding, supporting a range of project costs, for terms of 12-18 months. Proposals must be submitted through ACLS’s online application system, which will begin accepting applications October 15. Further information about the program and eligibility criteria is available online at <http://www.acls.org/programs/digitalextension/> www.acls.org/programs/digitalextension/. The application deadline for the inaugural competition of the Digital Extension Grant program is February 2, 2016. The American Council of Learned Societies, a private, nonprofit federation of 73 national scholarly organizations, is the preeminent representative of American scholarship in the humanities and related social sciences. Advancing scholarship by awarding fellowships and strengthening relations among learned societies is central to ACLS’s work. This year, ACLS will award more than $15 million to over 300 scholars across a variety of humanistic disciplines. *AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES* 633 THIRD AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10017-6795 TELEPHONE: 212-697-1505 *Connect with ACLS* <http://www.acls.org/connect/> <http://www.acls.org/>*www.acls.org <http://www.acls.org>*

This means that the RMA can apply for ISLRNs on behalf of the developers of the data that is managed and distributed via the RMA website. The RMA has already submitted 117 language resources to the ISLRN, including language resources for the 11 official languages of South Africa. These include text and speech resources such as text corpora (annotated, genre classification, parallel), translation memories, custom dictionaries for government domain, compound semantic and splitting datasets, frequency word lists, speech corpora, and pronunciation dictionaries. The meta-information for these language resources is also available on the ISLRN website with a broad international audience. Background As part of an international effort to document and archive the various language resource development efforts around the world, a system of assigning ISLRNs was established in November 2013. The ISLRN is a unique “persistent identifier” to be assigned to each language resource. The establishment of ISLRNs was a major step in the networked and shared world of human language technologies. Unique resources must be identified as they are, and meta-catalogues require a common identification format to manage data correctly. Therefore, language resources should carry identical identification schemes independent of their representations, whatever their types and wherever their physical locations (on hard drives, internet or intranet) (http://islrn.org/). About RMA: The Department of Arts and Culture of South Africa established the RMA to manage and distribute reusable text and speech resources developed by the National Centre for Human Language Technology from a centralised location. As many of the South African languages are deemed resource-scarce, the RMA aspires to make data resources for these languages more readily available. To find out more about RMA, please visit the RMA website: <http://rma.nwu.ac.za/>http://rma.nwu.ac.za. About ELRA: The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) is a non-profit-making organisation founded by the European Commission in 1995, with the mission of providing a clearing house for language resources and promoting human language technologies.

En marcha hacia el THATCampCuba 2016
by Yasmín S. Portales Machado 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hola Colegas: Adjunta va la convocatoria a la 2da Acampada de Tecnologia y Cultura de Cuba "THATCamp Cuba 2016" Estamos cortos de plata, pues el plan es financiar a todas las personas de Cuba, pero recibiremos con los brazos abiertos a quien quiera sumarse de ADHO, siempre que este en condiciones de cubrir sus propios gastos. Eso si, como Nueva Gerona es un lugar de dificil acceso, quien no tenga pasajes ya en diciembre podria no llegar, se los advierto. La ventaja es que es pequeña, barata, BELLISIMA y con buena conectividad, para los estandares de Cuba. Tambien agradeceriamos cualquier fuente de financiamiento que nos puedan recomendar. Claro, recuerden que Cuba aun esta "fuera del mundo" para muchas transacciones, por eso nuestro puente sera Alex Gil. -- Yasmin S.

Open Data in Open Educational Resources
by Ernesto Priego 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Dear all, I hope you are well. Writing with happy news of the publication of a new open access book. I was part of the committee who conducted open peer review (open as in "non-blind") of the open access book 'Open Data in Open Educational Resources: Case Studies of Emerging Practice' (Javiera Atenas and Leo Havemann, eds, Open Knowledge, 2015). The book's publication was announced officially today. I have archived my contribution to the prefaces from the committee here: https://thewinnower.com/papers/2910-reflection-on-open-data-as-open-educati… You will be able to donwload the book directly from the document above too. I don't think the book is 'perfect' (what book ever is?) and I personall wish we had been able to publish the book with a better scholarly digital infrastructure (XML, CrossRef, independent identifiers for each chapter, a github repository for the book and datasets etc.). However as I say in my preface the final document is the result of a gigantic collective effort to do the walk of open scholarship, in theory and practice, and its publication is an achievement against all odds and lack of resources. It is a happy occasion to see it available online, for free and under CC-BY. I hope this resource it is of interest to members of this list.

Webinar: Aspirations/Realities/Accommodations: Charting the Path for Governance, Mission, Interpretation, and Stewardship in a Museum-Academic Library Merger, Nov. 9, 2015, 2:30– 3:30pm ET
by Taylor,Laurie Nancy Francesca 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Please forgive duplication on this. Next week is the first of the US national dialogue webinars on museum and academic library mergers, including the activities for student engagement in public scholarship for museum and library collections, building and growing communities of practice, and many other shared areas of interest, concern, and opportunity for humanities research, teaching, and service. Best wishes, Laurie Aspirations/Realities/Accommodations: Charting the Path for Governance, Mission, Interpretation, and Stewardship in a Museum-Academic Library Merger (Webinar<http://ufsmathers.adobeconnect.com/libmuseum1/>) Monday November 9, 2015; 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m EST Webinar, no registration required, free to attend<http://ufsmathers.adobeconnect.com/libmuseum1/> Panelists: * Judith C. Russell, Dean of University Libraries, University of Florida – Co-PI, IMLS National Leadership Grant; * Joseph J. Wood, Chair, Executive Council Friends of the Panama Canal Museum (PCM) Collection at the University of Florida [former Board Chair, Panama Canal Museum]; * Katherine E. Egolf, Vice Chair, Executive Council Friends of the Panama Canal Museum (PCM) Collection at the University of Florida [former Board Chair, Panama Canal Museum]; * Sophia Krzys Acord, Associate Director Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere; Independent Evaluator – IMLS National Leadership Grant Moderator: * David R. Curry, MSLS, Managing Principal, davidrcurryAssociates, Philadelphia; Senior Consultant – IMLS National Leadership Grant In 1998, a group of volunteers created the Panama Canal Museum in Florida to gather and showcase personal artifacts related to a significant period of American history and cultural heritage. Years later, facing economic pressures and an aging member base, the museum faced a decision: close its doors or partner with an established institution to keep its collection intact. It chose the latter. In 2012 the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries a three-year National Leadership Grant to document the process of integrating the former Panama Canal Museum and its community and constituents into the Smathers Libraries. It was the first known example of the full closure of a small museum and the transfer of its collections and community to an academic library. The panelists will discuss the evolution of governance from museum board to executive council. Museum boards play a range of critical roles – from governance, fundraising, and strategic direction to hands-on activities that may even include collection processing, curation, and education. But academic libraries generally do not have “boards” in this sense, and function in a more nuanced world where university missions, scale, and faculty dictate procedures. So what happens to the museum board in a museum-academic library merger? What are the options, what was implemented, and what has been learned in the on-going Smathers Libraries – Panama Canal Museum merger process? The panelists will also discuss collection interpretation vs. scholarly neutrality. Museums that have a strong collection focus may evolve a specific and deeply-held narrative which informs interpretive and curatorial decision-making and action. What happens when such a narrative – embodied as a mandate in a merger partnership agreement – encounters an academic library staff that adhere to broader inclusivity and may not exclusively share that narrative? What happens when the former museum board/now executive council continues to advocate for this narrative? What solutions are possible and practical? For more background on the institutions and the project read the original IMLS grant proposal at http://ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00009715/00001 Who Should Participate? Museum, Library and Archives leaders and board members will benefit from a candid discussion of governance options and the interpretive challenges to date in this precedent-setting merger around governance. How to participate? The webinar will be freely broadcast through Adobe Connect. Please log on athttp://ufsmathers.adobeconnect.com/libmuseum1/ to participate. You can also continue the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #UFPCM<https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=%23UFPCM&src=typd>.
