Panel discussion with Print for the People members Mike Holland, Elizabeth Chang and Devoney Looser
Print for the People is a Mizzou Advantage project that explores the emergence of new contexts for rethinking the history of print and digital media in the humanities. Principle investigators for the project are Berkley Hudson (Journalism), Devoney Looser (English) and Mike Holland (MU Libraries, Special Collections & Rare Books).
The panel will address the possibilities and challenges of digitizing print materials for use by teachers, scholars, and students, as well as the state of thinking regarding the creation, architecture, use, and maintenance of digital humanities collections.
Looser and Chang recently returned from a week-long symposium in Dublin, Ireland, Digital Humanities Observatory. Michael Holland similarly returned from a weeklong symposium at the University of Virginia Rare Book School entitled, Digitizing the Historical Record. Each will briefly discuss their experiences at the two symposia in order to encourage audience participation.

Wish I could make this, but I’ve got a conflict. Hope it will be recorded in some way.
