RLG Symposium on Digitization and Humanities Scholarship R
I wanted to share this set of pointers from our friends at RLG Programs at OCLC to materials from a symposium that they sponsored on June 4, 2008 in Philadelphia dealing with the contributions that digitized text corpora can make to advancing humanities scholarship. I was fortunate to be able to attend this symposium, and some of the speakers were really extraordinary, with some very fresh and insightful perspectives.
