Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

Open Access Week event of possible interest to DH folks (Fri 10/25, 10am-noon @ GC)

  • Posted by Jill Cirasella (she/her) on October 7, 2013 at 4:13 pm

    You are invited to the first event in the Information Interventions @ CUNY series organized by the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable…

    Open Access to Scholarly Literature: Which Side Are You On?
    Friday, October 25, 2013, 10am – noon
    The Graduate Center, Rooms C201/C202 (Concourse Level) Refreshments will be served

    Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?

    Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center) will explain the motivation for OA, describe the details of OA, and differentiate between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She will also dispel persistent myths about OA and examine some of the challenges to OA.

    Please RSVP by Friday, October 18 to Jill Cirasella ([email protected]) or Maura Smale ([email protected]).

    And that’s not all! There are more Information Interventions @ CUNY coming up!

    Save the date for our upcoming event on predatory journals and conferences!
    Friday, November 15, 2013, 10am-noon
