Maps as search interface

Posted on May 5, 2014 by Katherine Hart Weimer

Want to talk about maps as search interface for library collections?

How are items geo-coded?  What software can be used?

I have some projects underway that I can share, but also want to hear from others.

Tools to faciltitate interdisciplinary collaborative teams

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Bruce Herbert

We should have a session on the tools participants find useful in supporting their collaborative teams, especially those that cross disciplinary boundaries.  The session could explore how to hack a collaborative team site by loosely coupling existing tools.

. . . because February 21-22, 2014 May 16-17 are the  dates for THATCamp DHCollaborate!   Our camp will take place on the Texas A&M University campus,  with most activities held in Evans Library and in the Liberal Arts and Humanities Building.

While we are working out further details,  please help us to get the word out to librarians, faculty,  technologists,  and other DH practitioners.

The ringleaders of this effort are Maura Ives (Department of English,  Texas A&M) and Kathy Weimer (Map & GIS Library,  Texas A&M),  and we welcome feedback and ideas as we continue to plan.
