2017 Virtual Symposium on Information and Technology in the Arts and
Humanities
*The Information and the Technology of Open Humanities*
April 18 & 19, 2017 12-4:30pm ET/9-1:30PM PT

The theme for the 2017 Symposium is *The Information and the Technology of
Open Humanities*. Digital technology has had a profound impact on
scientific and scholarly communication. This includes fundamental changes
to how individuals and groups find information, carry out collaborative
projects, and publish, assess, and preserve growing amounts of content. In
the sciences, the idea of open research processes and dissemination is
inherent in changing research practices; but how are the concepts related
to *Open Science* applied to research in, and about, disciplines in the
Humanities?
Potential speakers will discuss research using open humanities-related
content and on topics including:
Open information retrieval
Collaborative research methods
Digital publishing
Open access
Data curation and sharing
Linked data/linked open data
Social media or Web 2.0
Open Source technology
Research assessment
Additional details, including scheduled speakers and access information,
will be made available in early 2017. Please check this site or RSVP for
updates.

In conjunction with the Virtual Symposium, we are proud to once again
sponsor a Student Research Award in 2017. SIG AH and SIG VIS are seeking
previously unpublished research for a Master’s and a PhD Student Research
Award related to the theme of *Open Humanities*. Full details can be found
on the 2017 Student Research Award page.
