Comments on: what have you done for us lately? http://chnm2010.thatcamp.org/05/18/what-have-you-done-for-us-lately/ The Humanities and Technology Camp Tue, 08 Mar 2011 21:52:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 By: cwillifo http://chnm2010.thatcamp.org/05/18/what-have-you-done-for-us-lately/#comment-182 Sat, 22 May 2010 03:55:53 +0000 http://thatcamp.org/?p=265#comment-182 The Digital Library Federation has recently been brought back in to the Council on Library and Information Resources as a new program. I’m lucky to be spending part of next week with our brand new DLF Program Officer, Rachel Frick. I’d be happy to pass along anyone’s best ideas for what you think this program’s top priorities should be.

But many of my ideas there seem applicable. I’d love for an official conference to sanction and support a parallel underconference, emphasizing spontaneity and discovery.

What can the ACH (which looks from the outside as an organization geared almost exclusively to cater to the literary/textual/uber-humanist types) do to be more inclusive of the humanistic social science types.

And so far, my ploy is working. We’ll have lots of walking suggestion boxes, which later will turn into walking megaphones for the voices of THATCamp. More of you could step up!

I’ve only been on the committee for one year, but thus far have seen a real desire on the part of the organization to make the kinds of changes that THATCampers would like to see. So yes, bring on the suggestions; I’d be happy to pass them on!

I’m happy to serve as a suggestion box for them as well. And I think a frank conversation about what the role and responsibilities of academic organizations and meetings in the digital age should be is long overdue.

I’d like these ideas for changing orgs and meetings as well, and will bring those ideas to the AHA meeting committee this fall.
