BL Labs 2015 Symposium, 2 Nov 2015, British Library, London

Dear Colleagues,

The third annual British Library Labs Symposium (2015) is taking place on Monday 2nd November 2015 from 09:30–17:00 in the British Library Conference Centre, St Pancras.  The event is free, although you must book your ticket, so please don’t delay as last year’s event was a sell out!

The Symposium showcases exciting, innovative and inspiring projects which use the British Library’s digital content, and provides a platform for new ideas, development, networking and debate in Digital Scholarship.

This  year’s event includes a keynote addressing current activity in digital scholarship within interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary settings, presented by David De Roure, Professor of e-research at the University of Oxford and Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre. A panel session in the afternoon, will discuss issues of opening up digital content for memory organisations, chaired by George Oates, Director of Good, Form & Spectacle Ltd. Throughout the day, presentations will be given about various digital projects; the BL Labs Competition (2015) winners, winners of the BL Labs Awards (2015) and Alice’s Adventures Off the Map competition.

We strongly recommend you book your place for the Symposium as soon as possible using the link below:

Digital Classics Workshop:
Structuring and visualising data

Thursday November 5, 10:30 – 17:30
Institute of Classical Studies
Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU

51_357ba541-ff3d-4ad1-8884-72279ac0b1e0The Institute of Classical 
Studies is offering a one-day training workshop for postgraduate 
students and researchers on structuring and visualising historical data. 
The workshop will offer a basic introduction to issues around tabular 
data, database design and linked open data, and tools for visualisation 
for both presentational and analytical purposes. Participants will gain 
hands-on experience of creating database tables (in Google 
Spreadsheets), cleaning and enhancing their data, and building 
visualisations based on it using a variety of free sites and tools. We 
shall suggest and discuss how these methods can be applicable to your 
research.

No previous digital experience is required, but participants should 
bring their own laptop and have an account on Google Drive and be 
prepared to download some free software in advance of the workshop. The 
workshop will be taught by Silke Vanbeselaere (KU Leuven) and Gabriel 
Bodard (ICS). This workshop has been made possible by the generous 
support of the LAHP and AHRC.

Registration is free.
