THATCamp Canberra » Anna http://thatcampcanberra.org The Humanities And Technology unconference, 28–29 August 2010, University of Canberra Sat, 25 Jun 2011 02:29:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Research Tools Zeitgeist http://thatcampcanberra.org/2010/08/20/research-tools-zeitgeist/ http://thatcampcanberra.org/2010/08/20/research-tools-zeitgeist/#comments Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:00:25 +0000 Anna http://thatcampcanberra.org/?p=202 I’d like to propose a session to discuss the use of  research tools and services within the digital humanities.
Sites like the DiRT wiki http://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/, and arts-humanities.net provide lists of  projects and software,  but these lists are large and it’s difficult to tell which of the tools are widely adopted, mature or stable. I’m particularly interested in how THATcampers are using open source tools and free or open access services, because these have the potential for reuse, extension and adaptation.
The kinds of things that could be discussed include:
  • What digital research tools/services do you use or are you considering using?
  • What kinds of activities are not well supported by existing tools?
  • How might current or future DH projects try to fill the gaps?
