The session today on Omeka raised questions we have been wrestling with on support and scaling for tools in the digital humanities.  What has been working and what has not?  How do you decide on what tools, versions, plugins, etc. support and when to upgrade?  Do you make exception for certain sets of users or use cases?  DH tools are often experimental, so what is reasonable to support and push and how far can we stretch it?  How has it been when you have had to say no?

There are many models and potential library patrons for digital humanities services in the library.  What services have you offered and to whom and how have been your results?  What systems and tools have you been hosting or training on?  How much project support do you offer?  What have been the most common questions and needs you have been approached with?  Who have you been serving; undergrads, graduate students, faculty, librarians, etc.?  What training do you wish you have?  Lets get together and discuss what we have learned so far in our own institutions and help each other take something back to improve all of our DH programs at home.

We have decided to close registration.  We were able to send out a few codes to some wait listed people last week and nearly all of them have been used.  Unless people cancel we will not be able to allow any more people from the wait list in. Since we would need a fairly high pre-unconference attrition rate to get through all of those currently on the wait list closing registration seemed like the best option.

THATCamp Digital Humanities and Libraries has been very popular and we have hit our attendance cap.  Please continue to register on this site to be added to the wait list.  The earlier you sign up, the higher on the list you will be should we have more openings.

Hi, we just started planning this event. We will add more information to the site over the next several months.
