Digital Infrastructures for Humanities Research

Tuesday, January 27, 2015 14:30to16:30

Are you applying for an Insight Development Grant? Do you need help sorting through what kinds of Digital Infrastructures are best suited to specific kinds of research? Having trouble navigating what McGill offers, and where you can obtain services – either in the university, or privately?

What kinds of digital or cyber infrastructures are best suited for Humanities Research? How does the type of cyber infrastructure effect the ways Humanities Research is conducted and managed, as well as disseminated? The first session in this two-part workshop will describe the kinds of websites and cyber-infrastructures currently in use in a variety of Humanities Research contexts. It will outline how different types of websites work – ranging from static html sites, to fuller dynamic database and data-driven web applications and systems – and what kinds of sites are best suited to particular Humanities Research objectives. The second session will focus on a needs assessment for Humanities Researchers by examining the cyber-infrastructure provisions currently offered by McGill University, private Internet Service Providers, as well as partners institutions. Attendees submitting Insight Development Grant proposals with Digital Infrastructure components are strongly encouraged to attend.

Date & Time: January 27 (Part 1) & January 29 (Part 2), 2015
