[CODE4LIB] THATCamp Digital Knowledge following Code4Lib 2014
If, after four days of Code4LIB, you are not yet conferenced-out and are staying in Raleigh for an additional day, why not attend THATCamp Digital Knowledge at the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on March 28 from 10 to 5 and also help us celebrate Arduino Day? Attendance is free, you just have to register (see the announcement below). ++ THATCamp is an opportunity for faculty, grad students, university staff and members of the public to learn and play at the intersections of technology, humanities, social sciences, arts, and libraries. Participants are welcomed to propose sessions that relate to digital scholarship and pedagogy or any other topic they'd like to explore with fellow attendees. Sessions typically enable participants to develop new skill sets, think through ideas in a cooperative setting, and workshop current and future projects. (See the instructions on what sorts of sessions you might propose in advance or on the spot.) This year, THATCamp also invites attendees to use the Hunt Library's high-tech spaces including the Teaching and Visualization Lab, the Game Lab, and the Creativity Studio. Staff will be on hand to assist with running and configuring these spaces. In addition to sessions that participants propose in advance or on the spot, THATCamp will offer hands-on workshops led by librarians and faculty on the Arduino microprocessor, as part of NC State's parallel celebration of the worldwide Arduino Day 2014. Other sessions will focus on topics and technologies ranging from Google Glass to data visualization and GIS to multiplayer interactive fiction. Please note: participation is limited to 75 people. To attend, please register by March 26.

The following announcement describes a THATCamp event taking place at the end of April in East Lansing (Michigan). --ELM Announcing Great Lakes THATCamp 2011 Held on the campus of Michigan State University on April 30th and May 1st, Great Lakes THATCamp (The Humanities And Technology Camp) is a user-generated unconference on digital humanities originally inspired by the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University. Who Should Attend? Anyone interested in studying, supporting, teaching, researching, creating or otherwise shaping digital humanities, humanistic social sciences, information sciences, new media, and any other allied fields. You can be an academic, a librarian, an archivist, a developer, a writer, a student (grad or undergrad), a curator, a designer, an educator, a public historian, an archaeologist, an independent scholar, or any combination thereof (as most of us are). You can be an expert or a newbie; as long as you have something to talk about and things you want to learn regarding the intersection and integration of the humanities and technology, this is the place to be. The list of who should attend is as broad as the field of digital humanities itself. So, No Suits, No Papers... What Do You do? Show, tell, collaborate, share, and walk away inspired. Sessions at Great Lakes THATCamp will range from software demos to training sessions to discussions of research findings to half-baked rants. The only real thing we don't want to see is people standing up and reading a full blown paper, this isn't your typical academic conference – we're not here to read or be read to. Submitting a Proposal Submitting a proposal to Great Lakes THATCamp is easy. Just fill out the Application form on the website (http://greatlakesthatcamp.org). No formal (lengthy) proposal is required - just a brief description of what you would like to talk about. Unfortunately, we can only accept a max of 100 people, so we're going to have to do some vetting. Deadline for submitting is March 11th, 2010. How Much Does Great Lakes THATCamp Cost? THATCamp isn't your average academic conference, so you aren't going to have to pay an expensive conference registration fee. All we ask is that all attendees pay $25 to cover meals (attendees will be provided breakfast lunch during the event), as well as a t-shirt to commemorate the event. For more information on Great Lakes THATCamp, go to http://greatlakesthatcamp.org. Any questions can be sent directly to Ethan Watrall (watr...@msu.edu)

THATCamp Southeast (http://southeast2011.thatcamp.org/) is a free “unconference” for anyone working at the intersection of the humanities and technology. It will be held at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 4-6, 2011. We’re currently accepting applications from students, faculty, librarians, technologists, museum professionals, archivists, and anyone else who is interested in the digital (and the) humanities. We’d appreciate it if you’d pass this message on, and post the attached flyer if you can. Because THATCamp is an “unconference,” our participants will determine the ground we cover. Depending on your interests, we may hold sessions on issues in digital scholarship, pedagogy, curation, software demos, or training sessions. In other words, you won’t present formal talks, papers, or panels. Instead, you’ll share your ideas for potential THATCamp sessions prior to the Camp. At the start of the event, we’ll collectively agree on which conversations will take place. Our event also includes a one-day “BootCamp”: a series of hands-on workshops to help get digital novices up to speed. So don’t be intimidated if you’re new to digital humanities! The brief application is available at http://southeast2011.thatcamp.org/apply-to-attend. The deadline is January 9, 2011. Please email thatcamp.southe...@gmail.com with any questions, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/THATCamp_SE). We look forward to hearing from you! -- Susan Wells Parham Research Data Librarian Georgia Tech Library susan.par...@gatech.edu
