Just a quick announcement that the inaugural meeting of the Digital Scholarship Special Interest Group (digSIG) will be held in North Quad Room 2435 on today, March 26th from 4-5:30pm. This will be an excellent opportunity for interested members of the U-M library community and other university departments to share ideas and meet with faculty from the recent LSA Digital Enviroments Cluster Hire (Megan Ankerson from Communication Studies, Finn Brunton from the School of Information, John Cheney-Lippold from American Culture, and Tung-Hui Hu from English).
To kick things off, Aaron McCollough (Librarian or English and Comparative Literatures) and I will offer a rendition of our evolving “Introduction to Digital Humanities” talk. We’re hoping to set the stage for discussion of potential programming, projects, readings, training sessions, etc. around the theme of digital scholarship at U-M.
Feel free to contact DIGSig organizers Korey (kbjack@umich.edu), Justin (jjoque@umich.edu) or Aaron (amccollo@umich.edu) with questions.
Hope to see you there!
