TAPoR Poster (Click for large image)
Michael Groden of Western organized a session at the MLA Convention on “New Technologies of Literary Investigation: Digital Demonstrations.” I presented on TAPoR at the session which was a great success. Essentially the session was a poster session where the seven presenters each had a table and posters on the walls. Poster sessions are common in computing – they are great way to demonstrate computing projects – we were worried they wouldn’t work with the MLA audience, but I was busy talking the whole hour and 15 minutes. If we had been presenting papers there would have been fewer presentations and less time for discussion.
The Digital Posters were:
1. ìThe Stolen Time Archive,î Alice Gambrell, Univ. of Southern California
2. ìTurning the Pages: Displaying Manuscripts Digitally,î Clive Izard, British Library
3. ìThe Litgloss Collaboratory,î Maureen Jameson, State Univ. of New York, Buffalo
4. ìDoing Things with the William Blake Archive,î Kari M. Kraus, Univ. of Rochester
5. ìMark Twain Digital Project,î Sharon Goetz, Univ. of California, Berkeley (Sharon replaces Andrea Laue, who is listed in the program)
6. ìTamarind: Scholarly Text Analysis,î Stephen J. Ramsay, Univ. of Georgia
7. ìTAPoR (Text Analysis Portal for Research),î Geoffrey Rockwell, McMaster Univ.
