Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography: Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog. November 29, 2011.

The British Library and online publisher brightsolid today launch a website that will transform the way that people use historical newspapers to find out about the past. The British Newspaper Archive website will offer access to up to 4 million fully searchable pages, featuring more than 200 newspaper titles from every part of the UK and Ireland. The newspapers – which mainly date from the 19th century, but which include runs dating back to the first half of the 18th century – cover every aspect of local, regional and national news.

The Project highlights the ways that libraries and artists can work together and features:

• Visual artists, performing artists, and writers who use libraries in their communities for inspiration, information, and as gallery space
• Collections, libraries and library staff that incubate the arts, and the ways that artists can use them effectively
• Free-to-share resources for librarians looking to incubate the arts at their libraries
• Ideas for artists looking to connect with their communities through library programming

I am using my own research (and how I came to this research) as a trajectory for launching students into their own research. Below is my prezi; please feel free to use, adapt, alter accordingly to your own needs.

Understanding the basics of hash functions is important, because it is the underpinning for all content integrity and authentication tools, like digital signatures and security certificates.

Close to 40 million Americans move from one home to another every year. Click anywhere on the map below: blue counties send more migrants to the selected county than they take; red counties take more than they send.  More about the map.

This week I twice taught a two-hour workshop introducing Emory people (students, faculty, and staff) to the very basics of HTML & CSS. The workshop was called How a Website is Born: The Very Basics of HTML & CSS.

In my first post on this subject, I poked a bit at how one might represent TEI in HTML without discarding the text model from the TEI document. Now I want to talk a bit more about that model, and the theory behind it.

The guide is a project of the CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI), a new working group aimed at building connections and community among those at CUNY who are – or would like to be – applying digital technologies to research and pedagogy in the humanities.
