Advances in computing affect all who work with the fundamental resources of humanities scholarship. Long-held paradigms of scholarly resources-their ownership, their use, their distribution-are being transformed. Archivists, librarians, scholars, and publishers have to rework their relationships in this new information world, without losing sight of the traditional values of academic discourse. This conference will provide a forum to explore these changes and to seek the best ways to exploit them together.Please note that the programme is provisional at this stage, and that some papers, or entire sessions may need to be rearranged. A final programme will be provided at the conference, together with a book of abstracts. Sessions will run in parallel strands (usually three at a time) and there will be an exhibition running throughout the conference. Delegates wishing to demonstrate software during the conference are asked to apply as soon as possible to the Conference Co-ordinator.
The conference will be held at Somerville College, Oxford. Somerville College was founded in 1879 to promote the higher education of women. More than one century later, and numbering many famous women amongst its old members including many heads of states, the College is ideally situated for conference delegates.
