Building a Library-Based Digital Humanities Program  (Rebecca Dowson/Larissa Ringham/Sandra Singh)

Digital Humanities scholarship is a collaborative endeavour which shares significant interests with Library & Information Science scholarship and practice.  Libraries have partnered with digital humanists on research and teaching projects and have developed programs and infrastructure to support these collaborations.  Through illustrative examples, this session will discuss approaches to developing Digital Humanities partnerships and programs in academic and public libraries.
 

Using OMP as a Platform for Digital Collections (Michael Felczak)
 

Open Monograph Press (OMP) contains the tools necessary to build and distribute a diverse collection of content online. Single-author manuscripts and larger edited volumes can be organized by theme, category or series, and are managed using comprehensive catalogue workflows and tools. This workshop will demonstrate these tools in action.

We'll be examining PKP's current XML parsing kit, discussing the merits of automated vs. manual markup, and discussing how to accommodate an XML-based workflow with currently available tools.
