From Digital Images to Digital ResearchJames Baker
Dr James Baker gave a presentation on moving from digital images to digital research. He discussed how digitization has allowed scholars to analyze large collections of texts in new ways using computational tools. Researchers can now study patterns in texts across huge corpora in a way that was previously impossible. Baker also presented examples showing how textual analysis and densitometry of fingerprints in manuscripts' margins can provide new insights into how texts were used and valued historically.

CLIQUE is a grid-based clustering algorithm that identifies dense units in subspaces of high-dimensional data to provide efficient clustering. It works by first partitioning each attribute dimension into equal intervals and then the data space into rectangular grid cells. It finds dense units in subspaces like planes and intersections them to identify dense units in higher dimensions. These dense units are grouped into clusters. CLIQUE scales linearly with size of data and number of dimensions and automatically identifies relevant subspaces for clustering. However, the clustering accuracy may be reduced for simplicity.

Embedding Librarians in Virtual CommunitiesValerie Hill
1) The document discusses the concept of embedding librarians in virtual communities and environments. It argues that with the rise of digital information and virtual worlds, librarians need to provide services to patrons wherever they are, including online spaces.
2) An embedded librarian model is proposed where librarians actively participate in virtual communities and worlds, providing information literacy instruction, reference services, and curating online content and resources. This allows librarians to reach patrons in the digital spaces they increasingly inhabit.
3) Examples of embedded librarianship discussed include creating exhibits and displays, participating in collaborative learning environments, engaging in reference work and instruction, and networking with other professionals in virtual spaces. The document advocates

All the World's a Library: Produsage and User-Led Curation (ARLIS 2008 Keynote)Axel Bruns
The document discusses the emergence of "produsage," where users are becoming producers of content through various online activities like open source software, wikis, social bookmarking, and user reviews. It outlines a new "value chain" where the roles of producer and consumer are blurred as content is iteratively developed through collaborative contributions. Folksonomies of user-generated tags are discussed as an alternative to formal taxonomies for organizing this user-led content. The opportunities and challenges for libraries and information professionals are considered in helping curate and manage this new landscape of participatory knowledge production.
Evaluating Digital Scholarship, Alison ByerlyNITLE
While a number of professional organizations have produced valuable guidelines for evaluation of digital work, many colleges and universities have yet to establish clear protocols and practices for applying them. Alison Byerly, College Professor and former Provost and Executive Vice President at Middlebury College, who has co-led workshops on evaluating digital scholarship at the MLA convention, will review major issues to be considered in the evaluation of digital work, such as: presentation of medium-specific materials, documentation of multiple roles in collaborative work, changing forms of peer review, and identification of appropriate reviewers. She will then talk briefly about how these issues can best be approached from the perspective of the candidate who wishes to present his or her work effectively to review committees, as well as from the perspective of colleagues who wish to provide a well-informed evaluation of such work.
Designing library systems for library usersSimon Bowie
Presented to UCL DIS students on 9th March 2015 and City University London LIS students on 16th March 2015.
The design of library systems has traditionally been out of the control of library staff and in the hands of a few big library software vendors. But new developments with open-source library software and the increasingly techie skill-sets of library staff make it possible to conduct user experience (UX) research in libraries and to design systems that precisely meet the needs of our users. In this presentation, Simon discusses library systems design and UX in libraries with particular reference to the project to implement an open-source library catalogue interface at SOAS Library.
The document proposes the Slikipedia project, which combines Wikipedia with Second Life to create 3D virtual libraries and learning environments. It discusses using the virtual world to allow collaborative editing of objects that represent information. This would create an "allegorical infoscape" where collective intelligence is manifest spatially. Theories of communication, cognition, and learning are reviewed that support how a 3D environment could augment understanding through spatial representation of ideas. Challenges of quality control and ensuring collaborative knowledge creation are also addressed.
This document discusses the concept of transmedia storytelling, which refers to stories that are told across multiple media platforms to create a richer entertainment experience for consumers. It requires consumers to actively search across channels to find all parts of the story and collaborate online to share their findings. The document also discusses how academic fields are changing with increased focus on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches that integrate knowledge across fields to address complex issues. As political and economic forces shape universities, new forms of knowledge are emerging that involve multiple stakeholders both within and outside of academia.
All the world exists to end up in a dictionaryRossellaDH
The document discusses how dictionaries act as filters that capture knowledge through time by recording word meanings and usages. It explores the history of ordering structures in dictionaries, from thematic to absolute alphabetical organization. Digital humanities projects aim to build prototype lexicons and interconnect scholars to analyze texts through virtual research environments like TextGrid, addressing challenges like what to do with millions of digitized books. The ultimate goal is to understand dictionaries and reimagine their role in revealing knowledge in the digital world.
1.5 million words of Mary Dorothy George: a computational approach to curator...James Baker
This document discusses a computational analysis of over 1.5 million words of descriptions of art objects from the British Museum written by Mary Dorothy George from 1935-1954. It includes the 100 most frequent words used in George's descriptions and notes that the data was published under a Creative Commons license.
Digital History in the student learning experienceJames Baker
James Baker outlines his approach to integrating digital skills into history curriculum at the University of Sussex. He proposes a two-part course for first year history students, with the autumn term focusing on basic digital history skills like searching, organizing, and archiving sources. The spring term would build on this with more advanced topics such as data modeling, visualization, and making digital historical datasets. Baker emphasizes learning through practical peer activities focused on primary sources. His experience shows this hands-on approach helps manage large classes and engages students by relating digital skills to historical practice.

It discusses processing workflows for forensic analysis and includes examples of emulated software environments and dummy captures. It also provides references for further reading on topics relating to digital forensics, personal digital archiving, and analyzing born-digital materials from a curatorial perspective.
The document is a slide presentation by James Baker about digital history. It discusses how digital historians work with born-digital records and data, which require different skills than traditional paper records. It highlights challenges like researching the 1990s when most records were digital, and the need to understand old file formats and operating systems. It also describes James Baker's teaching of digital history skills to undergraduate students at the University of Sussex.
This document outlines a session plan on the publication and dissemination of data. The plan includes discussing good places to deposit data like Zenodo, Figshare, and institutional repositories. It also covers what metadata and documentation should accompany data deposits, such as descriptions, licenses, and information on who created the data. Examples of best practice in data deposits are examined. The session concludes with activities for participants to critique example data deposits and sign up to deposit their own data, with improved documentation.

This document appears to be a series of tweets and slides from a keynote presentation by James Baker on ditching the digital in digital history. The presentation outlines several stories, including Baker's experience with digital history mentorship, writing a book on satirical prints in England, developing the Library Carpentry training program, discussing issues with digital sources and OCR from Peter de Bolla's work, and embedding digital history into undergraduate history courses at Sussex. The overall document seems to provide personal anecdotes and examples rather than focusing on the latest topics in digital humanities or Baker's origin story.
Complex Analysis of Large Scale Digital Collections: reflections on some oppo...James Baker
This slideshow presentation discusses opportunities and challenges for analyzing large scale digital collections. It provides examples of analyzing over 60,000 digitized books to search for mentions of diseases over time and image sizes on pages. Additionally, it notes that the GeoCities website hosted over 38 million pages of personal web content before being deleted, representing a massive loss of historical information. The presentation advocates for open source digital forensics and preservation of large web archives.

Acts of being in proxies for prints: People in the Catalogue of Political and...James Baker
The document summarizes findings from analyzing a collection of British satirical prints from 1770-1830 using natural language processing techniques. Some key findings include: occurrences of men and women rise and fall out of step with each other; occurrences of gendered words in the context of speech also rise and fall irregularly; speech acts, especially from unnamed men and women, experience growth; and the variety of male first names fluctuates while recurring female names become more prominent.
The document discusses using hard disks as archives for paper documents by digitizing them. It provides links to resources about digital forensics, emulation services, guidelines for processing archival materials more efficiently, viewing old web pages in original browsers, reports on personal digital archiving, and the UK Web Archive. The document is licensed for sharing and reuse with some exceptions.
This deck is for Library Carpentry week one, held 9 November 2015 at City University London. Lesson materials are at https://github.com/LibraryCarpentry/week-one-library-carpentry

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

More than resource discovery…
“The emergence of the new
digital humanities isn’t an
isolated academic
phenomenon. The
institutional and
disciplinary changes are
part of a larger cultural
shift, inside and outside the
academy, a rapid cycle of
emergence and convergence
in technology and culture”
Steven E Jones, Emergence of
the Digital Humanities (2014)

“Literary scholars and historians have in the past been limited in their
analyses of print culture by the constraints of physical archives and human
capacity. A lone scholar cannot read, much less make sense
of, millions of newspaper pages. With the aid of computational
linguistics tools and digitized corpora, however, we are working toward a
large-scale, systemic understanding of how texts were valued and
transmitted during this period”

‘Early users of medieval books of
hours and prayer books left signs of
their reading in the form of fingerprints
in the margins. The darkness of
their fingerprints correlates
to the intensity of their use
and handling. A densitometer -- a
machine that measures the darkness
of a reflecting surface -- can reveal
which texts a reader favored.’
