From [[User:Amerune | Maureen]]: The suggested agenda items reflect my thinking that one of our top priorities should be to consolidate resources already available to us.

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 (especially when they have already shown an interest by attending our symposium!), such as 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.

What's not to like?
define and create a graduate certificate program; discuss with the head of the Honors College digital humanities opportunities for undergraduate research: For this year, at minimum define the grad certif. program and have the discussions with the Honors College.
explore opportunities for collaboration with southern Ontario and other WNY institutions: Good short-term project as a followup to the symposium.
run training in Open Journal System (preceded by an introduction to the concept of open source) and, should there be interest, facilitate the launch of online journals: Could be tied to a more general program on issues in scholarly communication.
run training again in TEI, internally staffed: Important to do this as a followup to last year’s training
sponsor a session on GIS and the digital humanities, inviting relevant geography faculty and looking at GIS-literature/linguistics projects: A new area to explore; draws in the Geography dept.
sponsor a session on virtual worlds / multiverses, exploring what they have to do with humanities study: Useful general information that could inform other projects
grant-writing (See "discussion," above.)''
