Please join us for a talk sponsored by the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics (RKCSI). Michael Buckland March 28, 2014 2:00-3:30pm Wells Library, LI030 Topic: Scholarly Editing and the Web Abstract: The routine use of word-processing software and network access opens the possibility for making working notes available in addition to formal, traditional publications. For example, scholarly annotated editions of historically important texts constitute an important foundation for understanding history and culture. Their preparation requires a sustained investment of highly specialized expertise and generates a rich corpus of research notes that are not included in eventual published volumes. These working notes are typically neither shared nor preserved. The opportunities and difficulties of sharing and preserving working notes in the humanities will be examined based on the experience of an ongoing project Editorial Practices and the Web involving the notes of three major editing projects ( ecai.org/mellon2010/).
