Greetings,
This appears to be a project of the Indiana School of lis.. I'm not
sure what it is about, or how it is relevant to jESSE. But on the
off-chance that it is, being posted by a past fan of jESSE, I'm sending it
out.

HathiTrust Research Center UnCamp
A 1.5 Day Event
Sept 10-11, 2012
Indiana University, Bloomington, IN
Mark your calendars. HTRC is hosting its first annual HTRC UnCamp in
September 2012 at Indiana University in Bloomington. The UnCamp is
different: it is part hands-on coding and demonstration, part
inspirational use-cases, part community building, and a part
informational, all structured in the dynamic setting of an un-conference
programming format. It has visionary speakers mixed with boot-camp
activities and hands-on sessions with HTRC infrastructure and tools.
Through the HTRC Data API, attendees will be able to browse and run
applications (yours or ours) against the full 2.8M volumes of the public
domain corpus of HathiTrust. Bloomington is lovely in September and the
IU campus is noted as one of the most beautiful public university
campuses in the nation.
Who should attend? The HTRC UnCamp is targeted to digital humanities
tool developers, researchers and librarians of HathiTrust member
institutions, researchers and librarians from non-member institutions, and
graduate students: in short, if you are interested in in digital humanities
and/or working with the HathiTrust collections, you should think about joining
us. However, attendance will be capped at 60
participants, so plan to register early!
Travel funds and Registration. HTRC anticipates funding a small number
of travel grants that can be used by an attendee to bring along a
graduate student, or for a HathiTrust member librarian/technologist to
bring along a researcher from their organization who is interested in
engaging with our research center. The Uncamp will have a minimal
registration fee so as to make the Uncamp as affordable as possible for
you to attend.
