Humanities Methods in Librarianship | Manifold @CUNY

<h3 style="padding:7px;">We are pleased to announce our first <a href="https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/call-for-papers">Call for Papers</a>.</h3> <p style="padding:7px;">Humanities Methods in Librarianship is a no-fee, open access journal that publishes high quality, peer-reviewed research with an emphasis on articles that push the boundaries — both thematically and formally — of what has been traditionally viewed as scholarship within the discipline. The journal aims to broaden the conversation by encouraging submissions that deploy methods from the humanities to address current or salient questions related to libraries, librarians, and librarianship. Humanistic methodological approaches may be used to address a wide range of topics within librarianship, so we encourage creative approaches and a diversity of submissions. </p> <p style="padding:7px;">Submission types may include but are not limited to:</p> <ul style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:40px;"> <li>Conceptual, philosophical, or theoretical discussions</li> <li>Literary, critical, or textual analyses of major (or minor) works within the literature</li> <li>Historical analyses and histories of the profession</li> <li>Personal narratives and autoethnography</li> <li>Creative non-fiction</li> <li>Interviews or oral histories</li> </ul> <p style="padding:7px;">We aim to publish original work, but the journal will consider papers that have been presented at conferences. We won’t review or accept work that is currently under consideration elsewhere.</p> <p style="padding:7px;">Authors are welcome to reach out to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">the editors</a> to share a synopsis or an abstract in advance of submission to determine if their topic is within scope.</p>

Super exciting to present at #EverythingOpen today with Rebecca Barber from ANU! Also what an awesome day for #GLAM sessions and some really interesting discussions around data ownership and privacy.

More fulsome notes to come, but these are the summary ~vibes of each session:

🔑 Keynote: “Peak Text: AI and the Golden Age of Libraries and Archives” by Keir Winesmith, National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
😎 Vibe: A galvanising affirmation of serving the public good.

🎙️Session: “I accidentally became a FOSS maintainer and all I got was this lousy insight into librarianship” by @hugh, La Trobe University
😎 Vibe: A warm hug for the weary soul.

🎙️Session: “A university library’s journey in making tech training resources FAIR” by Stéphane Guillou, The University of Queensland
😎 Vibe: Quietly leading with practical expertise.

🎙️Session: ”How one ISO standard led the way for national library infrastructure” by @saera, CAVAL
😎 Vibe: Actively equitable and gets the thing done.

🎙️ Session: “My degoogled life” by Joshua Hesketh, Grafana Labs
😎 Vibe: Seriously amused and terrifyingly pragmatic.

Check out the schedule and keep an eye out for the recordings! https://lnkd.in/g3qzqsSd

Our team developed an open-source WordPress plugin that lets you pull in items from your ORCID profile and display them on your site. Very cool!

Regis are open for NLS - New Librarians Symposium. It’s lowish cost and on a weekend to try and make it more accessible, I had a sneak peak at the program yesterday and it’s legitimately good - but if you want to wait for that before registering keep an eye open next week :) https://alia.org.au/Web/Web/Events/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=NLSXI

Dear Hive Mind. Looking for good examples from ~2015 of scholarly or scholarly adjacent services/infrastructures failing.

I've got examples of corporate capture, but struggling to find examples of actual closure because they've left very little trace

Friendfeed is one example, alongside a million other social media offerings, but I'm looking for something that the general scholarly reader would recognise and remember ideally
