I thought the announcement below might be of some general interest to
those on MapHist. The conference website link is
http://engerom.ku.dk/clickonknowledge . As noted below, this is a
virtual conference, so the cost should be manageable.

Dear ExLibris-L
May I bring your attention to a forthcoming conference, Click-On-Knowledge
2011: Web-based Knowledge and Contemporary Scholarship 11--13 May 2011.
As the title suggests, its quarry is how so-called web-based knowledge has
and will effect humanities scholarship: a topic discussed at length in various
forms on Exlibris-L. The conference aims to gather providers of web-based
knowledge and ordinary humanities users of the same (two groups who seldom
meet and talk - or at least not enough).
The keynotes, therefore, are selected to reflect these two groups. They
include
Professor Michael S. Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg
IT-journalist Mark Malseed, author of The Google Story
Professor Peter Naur, Computer Scientist and winner of the Turing Prize
Professor Susan Schreibman, Director of the Digital Humanities Observatory
(DHO), the Royal Irish, Academy, Dublin
and
Dr. Linda Bree, Commissioning Editor, Cambridge University Press.
Since the conference is also designed to be virtual, physical participation will
not be necessary. Many people reading this list will not be in a position to
cover travel costs to Copenhagen and, indeed, obligatory trans-oceanic travel
for conferences may not represent the best future for global knowledge
exchange. Copenhagen University's IT Media and its prestigious Project
Matterhorn will ensure that the online side of the conference runs according
to plan.
On a personal note, the conference strikes me (and it would, being one of the
organisers) as a perfect opportunity not only to experiment with an online
conference format but also to advance a discussion, which is already
unavoidable, in a far more informed direction.
I hope you feel encouraged to look through the conference website. The
deadline for the cfp is 1 December 2010
