CALL FOR PAPERS
MODELS OF PARTNERSHIP IN DIGITAL RESEARCH
SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY, 28 JUNE 2006

Incorporating computing into our work impacts on some of the central tenets of
humanistic endeavour, one of these being the nature of how work gets done. 
Research in the digital humanities is, in large part, typified by a requirement
for collaboration beyond traditional boundaries, often necessitating cooperation
among members of diverse communities and in other disciplines, faculties,
institutions, and sectors. This one-day colloquium focuses on the nature of such
collaborations and partnerships, and the groups that they involve: humanists,
computing specialists, research funding agencies, publishers, others in both
public and private sectors, and beyond.

We welcome proposals for short papers / presentations of either 10 or 20 minutes
on the theme of 'Models of Partnership in Digital Research', for a one-day
colloquium at Sheffield Hallam University on Wednesday 28 June 2006. The lead
speaker will be Professor Ray Siemens of the University of Victoria, Canada
Research Chair in Humanities Computing. Other presentations already confirmed
will include Dr Steve Earnshaw, Sheffield Hallam University, on his
lottery-funded project for widening access to the Sheffield Flood Claims Archive
(see http://extra.shu.ac.uk/sfca/ ) and Dr Matthew Steggle, Sheffield Hallam
University, on EEBO and LION. We request a short (one-paragraph) abstract to be
sent to the organiser, Professor Lisa Hopkins (L.M.Hopkins@shu.ac.uk) by 1 April
2006.
