Hi everyone,
Apologies for cross–posting….
A former colleague at University of Toronto asked me to
distribute this. Interesting PD opportunity for those wanting to bring GIS
together with DH.

Subject: Invitation to apply: Digital Humanities Institute for
Mid-Career Librarians
With the support of the Andrew G. Mellon Foundation, the
University of Rochester River Campus Libraries is offering a 3-day, residential
institute for 20 mid-career librarians interested in taking a deep dive into
the world of digital humanities. As scholars increasingly take advantage
the many new research avenues made available by digital media, librarians
need the skills and core knowledge to collaborate with them and continue our scholarly
partnership.
21st Century Skills: Digital Humanities Institute for Mid-Career
Librarians has four tracks: text encoding, analysis and visualization
for humanists; digital mapping and archaeology; digital pedagogy and digital
media literacy; and metadata, data curation, and data modeling for visual and
material culture. It is an engaging, experiential, and intensive program
designed to give librarians an opportunity to dig into the workings of digital
humanities projects, explore what's possible, and define what kinds of support
librarians can offer to their faculty colleagues.
The institute runs July 20-22, 2015, and offers a
housing and travel bursary.
Interested? To apply, or to learn more, visit: http://humanities.lib.rochester.edu/institute/
Questions? Get in touch! The
application deadline is May 15th, 2015.
