Join us for the first DH Mixer of 2018!
Thursday, January, 2018 at 12:00PM – 2:00PM
Location: Koerner Library, Room 153
Description: This Pixelating Mixer is calling for past DHSI (Digital Humanities Summer Institute) participants and any other interested parties to discuss developing a collaborative, UBC Library-based digital humanities project. As a result of more than a decade of participation in a diverse array of DH skills-building workshops and seminars, do you have an urge to use what you’ve learned for a real-world library application or initiative? Do you want to develop your webscraping, text analysis, geospatial visualization, digital storytelling, or text encoding (to name just a few) skills while collaboratively working towards a larger interdisciplinary project? Do you have an idea for a project that would help illuminate gems in UBC Library’s Open Collections or another open collection? Or do you just want to hear more about the possibilities of crowdsourcing and collaborating on a library-based DH project? Come for holiday treats before the break, and to discuss ideas and let us scope this together in greater detail! All are welcome.
