DLF Aquifer Receives Mellon Grant to Make Scholarly Collections Interoperable
Washington, D.C.--The Digital Library Federation (DLF) has received an
$816,000 grant from The Andr ew W. Mellon Foundation for a project
designed to make distributed digital collections easier for s cholars to
use. The project, DLF Aquifer Development for Interoperability Across
Scholarly Reposito ries: American Social History Online, will implement
schemas, data models, and technologies to enab le scholars to use digital
collections as one in a variety of local environments.
DLF Board President Carol A. Mandel said, "This project exemplifies the
goals of the Digital Librar y Federation to support the work of scholars
through rich, federated, and enduring digital library collections and is
integral to our expectations for Aquifer. We are grateful to The Andrew
W.Mellon
Foundation for helping DLF realize its aspirations."
"DLF is delighted to obtain the support of the Mellon Foundation to pursue
the development of appli cations that help people knit together the
information and content they seek for their scholarship and learning,"
said DLF Executive Director Peter Brantley. "The Aquifer project will
deliver the co llaborative experience that libraries need as we start to
realize new ways of providing services to
our communities," he added.
"The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's support for Aquifer is gratifying,"
said DLF Aquifer Director Ka therine Kott. "Aquifer participant libraries
are building systems that will enable libraries to del iver important
resources to scholars where they do their work."
The project will address the difficulty that humanities and social science
scholars face in finding
and using digital materials located in a variety of environments with a
bewildering array of interf aces, access protocols, and usage
requirements. DLF Aquifer seeks to provide scholars with consiste nt
access to digital library collections pertaining to nineteenth- and
twentieth-century U.S. socia l history across institutional boundaries.
The collections are in a variety of formats and include
maps and photographs from the Library of Congress historical collections;
sheet music from the Sam DeVincent Collection of American Sheet Music at
Indiana University; and an array of regional colle
ctions, such as Michigan County Histories from the University of Michigan
and Tennessee Documentary
History from the University of Tennessee, that will facilitate
cross-regional studies when combine
d.
By integrating American Social History Online into a variety of local
environments, the project wil l bring the library to the scholar and make
distributed collections available through locally suppo rted tools. The
project will take two years to develop and implement, from April 2007 to
March 2009 .
The Digital Library Federation, founded in 1995, is a partnership
organization of academic librarie s and related organizations that are
pioneering the use of electronic-information technologies to e xtend their
collections and services. Through its strategic and allied members, DLF
provides leader ship for libraries by identifying standards and "best
practices" for digital collections and networ k access; coordinating
research and development in the libraries' use of technology; and
incubating
projects and services that libraries need but cannot develop
individually. More information about
DLF is available at http://www.diglib.org/

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
doing digital: using digital resources in the arts and humanities
DRHA07 : Dartington College of Art : 9 - 12 September 2007
http://www.dartington.ac.uk/drha07/
Bringing together creators, practitioners, users, distributors,
and custodians of Digital Resources in the Arts and Humanities
Over the last decade the annual Digital Resources for the Humanities and
Arts (DRHA) conferences have constructed an unusual kind of meeting place:
a space in which researchers, curators, and distributors of digital
resources could meet and share perspectives on their
complementary agendas.
Last year, that forum was expanded to include
participants from the creative and performing arts, giving the event a new
flavour and a new direction. This year, the conference aims to explore
further major issues at the interface between traditional humanities
scholarship and the creative arts, by focussing on their differing or
complementary approaches to the deployment of digital technologies.
Can the Arts and the Humanities share expertise? Are they
divided by a common tongue? To what extent are they developing common
technical solutions to different problem areas? As in previous years, the
conference will articulate these questions by showcasing the very best in
current practice across the widest spectrum of digital
applications in the arts and humanities and by fostering informed but
accessible debate amongst professionals.
The Programme Committee for DRHA07 is now soliciting imaginative and
provocative contributions for the conference addressing such topics as:
* the benefits and the challenges of using digital resources in
creative work, in teaching and learning, and in scholarship;
* the challenges and opportunities associated with scale and
sustainability in the digital arena;
* new insights and new forms of expression arising from the
integration of digital resources in the arts, humanities, and sciences;
* social and political issues surrounding digital resource
provision in the context of global ICT developments;
* the implications of "born-digital" resources for curators,
consumers, and performers;
* training methods and best practice for digital arts and
humanities practitioners.
Other themes include: interactivity and performance; digital media in time
and space; integration and deployment of existing digital resources in new
contexts; policies and strategies for digital deployment, both commercial
and non-commercial; cataloguing and metadata aspects of resource
discovery; digital repositories; Web 2.0 and other new
technologies; encoding standards; intellectual property rights; funding,
cost-recovery, and charging mechanisms; digitization techniques and
problems.
Format: The conference will take up three intensive days, comprising
presentation of academic papers and technical reports, performance and
installation events, software and product demonstrations, debates and
training events. The atmosphere will be informal, the discussion
energetic. Leading practitioners and representatives of key funding
agencies, such as the the Arts Council, the AHRC, the JISC
will be amongst the participants. We hope that from this occasion a new
consensus will emerge based on real life experience of the
application of digital techniques and resources in the Humanities and Arts.
Timetable: Proposals are now invited for academic papers, themed panel
sessions and reports of work in progress.Your proposal should be no
smaller than 500 words and no longer than 2000; closing date for
proposals is May 2nd 2007. All proposals will be reviewed by an
independent panel of reviewers, and notifications of acceptance will be
sent out by 13th June 2007. All accepted proposals will be included in the
Conference preprint volume, and will also be considered for a
post-conference publication.
Cost: The all-in conference rate covering all meals and accomodation as
well as conference registration and proceedings will not exceed Ł400.
Reduced rates for early registration, and partial rates for one-day or
non-residential attendance will be announced shortly on the conference
website.
Further information: The conference web site at
http://www.dartington.ac.uk/drha07/ will be regularly updated, and
includes full details of the procedure for submitting proposals, the
programme, and registration information. Bookmark it now!
