Hello all, I know that not everyone was able to make it to Las Vegas at the end of June, and not everyone who came to the AJL conference was able to make it to the DH roundtable. For those who are interested, I have copied the email (edited slightly to clarify certain things and to include later happenings) that I sent to members of the roundtable following the conference. It'll be a little difficult to summarize the roundtable in a formal way for the AJL Proceedings so consider this the proceedings for that session. If there are any questions, please feel free to be in touch.
Best, Michelle --- Thank you all for coming to the session. It was a lively conversation, and certainly needs to continue, and so I wanted to begin right away. 1. I have created a Google Group ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/js-librarians-in-dh) to better manage discussions. The group works the same way as Hasafran - once you're signed up, you can email js-librarians-in...@googlegroups.com, which will send your emials to the entire list. You can also choose how you receive the emails (digest, individual emails, etc.). Note that you do not need a gmail account to join the Google Group. 2. The short link to the Contacts list (the list that went around the room identifying people with an interest in DH and Jewish Studies) is bit.ly/DHJewish. Please feel free to forward this list around and add names to it! 3. The spreadsheet that I created to "catalog" various projects (beginning with the ones listed on jewishcommons.org) can be found at bit.ly/JewishDHProjects. Please DO add more resources to the list, although I would request at this point that nobody change the general format of it. Additionally, if you have comments/questions on the set-up, please, start a conversation with the people on this list, and we can change it it makes sense! Again, feel free to distribute this list. 4. A smaller group of us have gotten together to formalize what AJL's role (and by extension, our role as Judaica Librarians) is in supporting digital humanities in Jewish Studies. 5. For interested parties, I have created a small (for now) Twitter list of people/projects in DH Jewish Studies (#DHJewish). You can find it here: https://twitter.com/hchesner/lists/dh-jewish-studies Please let me know if you know of others that should be on this list.
