As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.
So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

Very excited that my first book chapter was released today!
Now up to 31 participants and meetings for the semester are scheduled!
Victory for today: I am co-covening a DH Community group and we had 1 of 2 interest meetings today. We had 11 people show up and I was expecting 0 to 5. Getting very excited for round 2 tomorrow!

THEY VOTED TO RESTORE THE IMLS FUNDING.
This isn't the end. It's nowhere near the end. But the House and Senate subcommittees voted to restore the IMLS in their budget markups.
Full House budget markup is tomorrow.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
Digital resources, particularly eBooks and audiobooks, are going to bankrupt libraries if something isn't done to halt the extortionary pricing models of publishers.

It is good and proper in a well-kept library to dispose of books.

Almost all of the bugs and problems and breakage in the software you use is known to the engineers, we just aren't allowed to fix it. Gotta ship new features.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Text Analysis tools used to be one of my favorite DH things. Now with experiences of programs failing right when I need them and HTRC and Constellate sunsetting, I'm starting to thinking that hard coding is the more sustainable option. However, that doesn't even account for the copyright issues😞
Reminder that even the out-of-copyright scans from Google Books are subject to license agreements and such, so once HTRC is sunset as an entity within HathiTrust, they're not able to serve as a broker for access to that stuff either. 😬

So adding -ai to Google searches actually works? I’ve tried it a few times and so far no AI results at the top! Is it a fluke?

I wonder if companies and publishers do any kind of user surveys before they make these AI deals and tools. Probably not, but I wonder if this is just a case of thinking the people want AI when we really don't
Well I'm sure this won't negatively impact the idea of scholarship as a shared collective endeavour to better understand the world.
