Electronic literature (e lit) in public librariesAlexandr Belov
This presentation investigates the methods and ways to facilitate electronic/digital/experimental literature in physical and digital rooms of public libraries.
The MA in Digital Humanities at King's College London looks at how we create and disseminate knowledge in an age where so much of what we do is mobile, networked and mediated by digital culture and technology
It gives a critical perspective on digital theory and practice in studying human culture, from the perspectives of academic scholarship, cultural heritage and the commercial world
We study the history and current state of the digital humanities, and their role in modelling, curating, analysing and interpreting digital representations of human culture in all its forms.

In his talk for the MIT Libraries Program on Information Science, Steve Griffin discusses how how research libraries can play a key and expanded role in enabling digital scholarship and creating the supporting activities that sustain it.
Information Science in the Curriculum of Library and Information Studies in C...Infodays
Main curricular development of Information Science in Comenius University is based on historical traditions of information science based on user paradigm, system paradigm and object paradigm. The paper presents current state and main goals of the content of the core of Information Science as understood in our Department. The curricular revision and updates are realized in line with new trends in information studies, especially in close collaboration with computer studies at the level of common research projects. New subjects emerge based on digital services, new media and data and knowledge management. These trends follow the i-school movement and respond to changes of main categories in the digital environment and to practical changes in libraries and education and pedagogical methods (e.g. folllowing the IFLA Trends Report like e.g. Massive Open Online Courses, digital libraries and services, digital scholarship, data management and visualization, user experience, information and media literacy, cultural heritage, data protection and privacy). More creativity with new media and digital environment is stressed in line with our research. Methodological trends are also emphasized with increasing reliance on qualitative methodologies and holistic principles of information ecology and information ethics. More emphasis on doctoral students and thei research project is outlined. Other trends of the development of information science research are analyzed. Several examples of research projects investigated at the Department are mentioned as the background for adapting to i-school movement.

Text mining has turned out to be one of the in vogue handle that has been joined in a few research
fields, for example, computational etymology, Information Retrieval (IR) and data mining. Natural
Language Processing (NLP) methods were utilized to extricate learning from the textual text that is
composed by people. Text mining peruses an unstructured form of data to give important
information designs in a most brief day and age. Long range interpersonal communication locales
are an awesome wellspring of correspondence as the vast majority of the general population in this
day and age utilize these destinations in their everyday lives to keep associated with each other. It
turns into a typical practice to not compose a sentence with remedy punctuation and spelling. This
training may prompt various types of ambiguities like lexical, syntactic, and semantic and because of
this kind of indistinct data; it is elusive out the genuine data arrange. As needs be, we are directing
an examination with the point of searching for various text mining techniques to get different
textual requests via web-based networking media sites. This review expects to depict how
contemplates in online networking have utilized text investigation and text mining methods to
identify the key topics in the data. This study concentrated on examining the text mining
contemplates identified with Facebook and Twitter; the two prevailing web-based social networking
on the planet. Aftereffects of this overview can fill in as the baselines for future text mining research.
In this poster paper we propose a new method for identifying creativity that is based on analyzing a corpus of chat conversations on the same topic and extracting the new ideas expressed by participants. The application is a first step in supporting creativity in online group discussions by highlighting the novel concepts present in conversations (new ideas) and also by identifying topics that could have become important, if not forgotten during the debates (lost ideas)

Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities _ On Possible Future ...Hina Parmar
1.The changes brought about by new communication technologies are as profound and sweeping as the invention of print and the discovery of the New World. We are in a major transitional moment in history.
2. These technologies have both liberatory potential through democratizing information, but also a dangerous capacity for control and violence. There is an inescapable dialectical tension.
3. Humanists must involve themselves in debates about digital culture and technology to ensure corporate interests do not dominate these spaces and our cultural legacy.
4. We need new critical methods and conceptual understandings to grapple with digital texts and culture, which transform assumptions about mediation, authorship, discourse, etc.
5. The article puts forth comparative media studies, data studies, and authorship/platform studies as three avenues for a future comparative literature adapted to the digital age.
6. Models like Wikipedia illustrate the power of open, collaborative knowledge production. Institutions like universities need to think about how to integrate these models into learning.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Research: shared methods and
perspectives
Dr. des. Cornelius Puschmann

European Summer School "Culture & Technology"
University of Leipzig
29 July 2009
2. This is not a project presentation
…but a (subjective) overview of two emerging fields and their relation
3. Providing context
● I am a postdoc researcher in English linguistics at the University of
Düsseldorf
● my to-date work has focused on what linguists usually call computer-
mediated communication or computer-mediated discourse analysis
(CMC/CMDA)
● I study pragmatic and discourse-related aspects of CMC (e.g. blogs,
Twitter)
● PhD thesis on stylistic variation in corporate weblogs
● additional background in information science and STS
● interested in digital methods, visualization and trends in the
Humanities research agenda
4. Questions I'll address in this presentation
1) What is the relationship of Internet Research/Internet Studies and
Digital Humanities?
2) What kinds of questions are formulated in Internet Studies and in
what regards are they relevant to DH scholars?
3) How can the philologies benefit from participating in Internet
Studies and what methods and theoretical frameworks can they
contribute?
5. Internet Research and Internet Studies
Internet Research Internet Studies
“Internet research is the “Internet studies is a field of academia
practice of using the Internet, dealing with the interaction between
especially the World Wide the Internet and modern society, and
Web, for research.” the sociological and technological
implications on one another.”
→ doing (academic) → doing research about the Internet
research via the Internet
6. Digital Humanities engenders Internet
Research
Via practices such as...
● sharing rich digital resources (classical manuscripts, cultural
artifacts, 3D models of places)
● using web-based tools (visualization, annotation)
● integrating linked data (RDF-based mashups)
● employing new publishing practices (Open Access, Open Data,
academic blogging)
→ using the Internet is increasingly a social and collaborative activity
and academia is no exception
7. Internet Studies as a distinct emerging field
● core fields: sociology, social psychology, ethnography
● additional fields: mass communication, political science, religion
studies, library and information science, linguistics, computational
linguistics, literary and cultural studies
● diverse landscape, but the core fields are larger and more strongly
involved
● disciplines traditionally invested into studying artefacts, technologies
and abstract concepts (books, mass media, language) must adjust
more significantly than those that study people and their behavior
8. Topics in Internet Studies
● Internet architecture/security/technology (identity management,
encryption, spam, viruses)
● sociology of online worlds, communities and networks (SL, WoW, FB,
blogs)
● culture and conventions (netspeak, netiquette, video game culture)
● new forms of communication (chat, microblogging)
● digital rights (privacy, free speech, intellectual property, digital rights
management)
9. Institutes, societies, journals
● Institutes: Oxford Internet Institute, Internet Interdisciplinary Institute
(IN3, Open University of Catalonia), Berkman Center for Internet and
Society (Harvard), Stanford Law School Center for Internet and
Society, Institute for Internet Studies (Tel Aviv), Singapore Internet
Research Centre
● Societies: Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR), German Society
for Online Research (DGOF)
● Journals: Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (JCMC), First
Monday, Information, Communication and Society
● … and a number of others
10. Preliminary observations
1) There is a strong bias towards
the Social Sciences in Internet
Studies
2) The philologies are not very
significantly represented
3) This is in spite of our natural
affinity for the kind of data – text –
that analysis of Internet
communication is based on
11. A few reasons why we should study online
communication
● in functionally-oriented linguistics there is no such thing as “too
much data” → Internet is huge
● Internet language data reflects a broad spectrum of speakers and
genres; in some regards “more natural” than other registers
● avenues of research for pragmatics, discourse analysis, applied ling.
● to study the creation, reception and criticism of (popular) culture on
the Web
● to evaluate the impact of techniques such as non-linear storytelling
(e.g. in fan fiction and blogs)
● but most importantly: it's about text!
12. Internet Studies examples: Twitter
● Twitter (microblogging service)
shares properties of blog and chat
formats
● study by Honeycutt and Herring
(2009) describes topic drift in
threads of dyadic conversation
● coding and visualization of the
data via VisualDTA
13. Internet Studies examples: use of hyperlinks
in blogs
● research by Efimova and
Anjewierden explores link
structure in blogs
● typical: language data and
linking practices are not
correlated
14. Internet Studies examples: self-linking in
blogs
● different visualization techniques enable a panoramic view on the
content
● facilitates computational analyses of language on the Net (e.g. a
visual representation of Biber's multi-dimensional analysis model or
Csomay's Vocabulary-Based Discourse Unit)
18. Conclusions
● philologists are largely missing from Internet Studies, though their
expertise is direly needed
● qualitative analysis and manual annotation is underexplored
● Internet communication not just another data source (though it can
be used in that way)
● new methods and visualizations needed
● application, refinement and development of theories
