This memo serves as call for members interested in two newly established Common Knowledge Groups (CKGs), the Digital Humanities CKG and the Digitization CKG.

 

Digital Humanities CKG membership is open to all levels of staff interested in and responsible for scholarly work that combines the methodologies and concerns of the humanities with those of computing (e.g. data mining, data visualization, GIS, statistics, text mining, digital publishing).

 

Digitization CKG membership is open to all levels of staff interested in and responsible for technologies, equipment, workflows and digitization standards for materials of all formats held by the UC Libraries.

 

To participate in the Digital Humanities CKG, please contact its chair, Barbara Hui, CDL, [log in to unmask]

To participate in the Digitization CKG, please contact its chair, Susan Chesley Perry, UCSC, [log in to unmask]

 

Both Common Knowledge Group Charters containing more detail, and general information about CKGs, is available online: http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/ckg

 

As with all CKGs, membership is limited to staff who are directly engaged in and/or responsible for work that is under the purview of the CKG.  Please obtain your supervisor’s approval prior to participation.
