-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [SHARP-L] Paperback in Latin America (Libro de bolsillo) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:08:40 +0000 From: Willian Righini de Souza <wrighini(a)yahoo.com.br> Reply-To: Willian Righini de Souza <wrighini(a)yahoo.com.br> To: sharp-l(a)list.indiana.edu <sharp-l(a)list.indiana.edu> Dear Colleagues, I am writing to ask for some help / information. Nowadays we can find quite easily books about the paperback history in the United States, England, France and some other European countries. However, I am interested in the development of this market in Latin America. I have material on Brazil and some information about Argentina. I would ask you if you can suggest me some bibliography on other countries or the whole Latin America. Being more specific, I search sources about the ‘libro de bolsillo” in Latin America in the twentieth century. Best regards, Willian E. R. de Souza

As smoke billowed from the eighteenth-century construction and the fire brigade struggled to bring the flames under control, debris fell onto the surrounding Dublin streets, and the Irish Times reported that a priceless library was left in ashes. The fire, caused by the outbreak of the Irish Civil War, hit at the heart of government records, destroying hundreds of years of Irish history that had been housed centrally since the 18th century. A few days after the fire, the Provisional Government issued a notice asking citizens to return to public custody any and all of the burned fragments of the public record that had “blown to other districts.” > In the current digital age, our social and cultural record is also at risk, but its degradation occurs over time. Instead of burning rapidly, digital records are threatened by a slow-burning fire that can go undetected as a result of insufficient data management practices. Additionally, the preservation of our digital social and cultural heritage is subject to domain- and community-specific requirements. These issues demand that we reflect critically on the purpose of digital preservation, and ask fundamental questions about how requirements should shape our practices. Similar to the public appeal in 1922, we are looking for public, academic and industry engagement on the issue of digital preservation, to help identify the fragments that have been, or are in danger of being lost, as well as to build the digital preservation strategies that will shape and safeguard our public record. > To address the complexities of long-term digital preservation in the social and cultural realms, we are hosting the first Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DPASSH 2015) conference, titled “Shaping our Legacy: Safeguarding our Social and Cultural Record.” The conference will take place on June 25-26, 2015 at Croke Park, in Dublin, Ireland, and will include international keynote speakers, networking, expert panels, peer-reviewed papers, and posters. > Submissions are invited from all sectors and perspectives (academics, researchers, students, industry, cultural heritage institutions, preservation infrastructures, etc.) for a variety of presentation formats that critically reflect on all areas relating to digital preservation in the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage sectors. > Conference themes include but are not limited to: > • Cultural Responsibility & Preservation: critical reflections on preservation, challenges in choosing what to preserve, digital curation, digital stewardship, archiving processes. > • People & Preservation: stakeholder engagement, community approaches, partnership building, education & training, knowledge transfer. > • Policy & Preservation: advocacy, national approaches, sustainability, open access, open data. > • Sharing & Preservation: content curation, contextual information and metadata, aesthetics of preservation, sharing of research data, user tools, crowdsourcing. > • Technology & Preservation: Technical challenges posed by datasets in arts/humanities/social sciences, digitisation vs. the born digital record, preservation infrastructures, software and tools. > • Trust & Preservation: TDRs, provenance, authenticity, certification, security, data protection, copyright, licensing. *> Important Details:* > - Submission Deadline: 26th January 2015 > - Notification of outcome: 30th March 2015 > - Full papers due: 25th May 2015 > - All abstracts will be peer reviewed, and accepted papers will be published as conference proceedings. > - All submissions must be made through the conference website: dpassh.dri.ie > - Abstract Length: Long papers: 400-500 words; Short papers: 200-300 words; Posters: 50-100 words > - Final Paper Word Length: Long papers: 3000-5000; Short papers: 1500-2000 > - Questions: Dr. Natalie Harrower, Chair of the Programme Committee: n.harrower(a)ria.ie <javascript:main.compose('new', 't=n.harrower(a)ria.ie')> > > > > Kind regards > > > Sharon > > > Dr. Sharon Webb > Knowledge Transfer Manager, DAH > Digital Repository of Ireland, > Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, D. 2. > > > PH: 00353 1 609 0696 >

Russian DH publishing venue?
by Domenico Fiormonte 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Dear all, some of you perhaps remember this post published in Italian, Spanish and Portoguese: http://reartedix.hdplus.es/dixit/para-cuando-los-brics-del-conocimiento/ http://hdbr.hypotheses.org/5179 An English (shortened and updated) version is also in progress. It happens now that one of my graduate students who is fluent in Russian has translated in this language my contribution. I've sent it to a couple of Russian colleagues for review, and I'd be glad if anyone in this list would suggest me further contacts in the DH Russian world. I was especially looking for DH blogs for exchanging translations of mutual posts, etc. Thanks in advance for your help! Domenico
