From Maureen: The suggested agenda items reflect my thinking that one of our top priorities should be to consolidate resources already available to us. If the elements of a graduate certificate exist on campus, and if such a certificate would give our graduate students training they want and can use to their advantage, we would be remiss in neglecting this opportunity. Involving Honors College students with humanities faculty on their digital projects -- as they already work with faculty in the sciences under the rubric of "undergraduate research" -- will be mutually beneficial, and has no cost whatsoever. We can only gain from a collaboration with colleagues from neighboring institutions, like John Bonnett from Brock, Susan Brown of Guelph and Alberta (co-founder of the Orlando Project) or the Blake Archive participants from U of Rochester -- and the range of collaborations could include graduate courses, training, and digital projects. Professor David Mark of the Geography Department, a renowned expert in GIS, was present at our inaugural symposium, and the GIS-humanities connection is already being explored elsewhere. UB's Media Study faculty will have interesting ideas about multiverses. The open source movement and in particular the OJS will surely be of interest to faculty and graduate students. Depending on the ways in which we narrow down (or expand) this agenda, we should identify internal and external funding and go after it. My two cents' worth.
