  • Liaise with GLAM-Wiki communities to strengthen the ability for volunteer groups to support institutional collaboration, especially in structured data projects:
    • Consult prior and existing GLAM-Wiki community leaders to determine best ways to facilitate GLAM-Wiki projects which utilize the new tools provided by Structure Commons.
    • Act as point-of-contact directing institutions seeking information from WMF about GLAM partnerships to best-positioned community leaders and organizations to support partnerships.
  • Help communities identify and implement best practices that facilitate growth of new GLAM-Wiki multimedia collaborations especially in emerging communities and communities without robust digital heritage sharing platforms, like Europeana and DPLA.
  • Facilitate growth of international capacity within GLAM-Wiki projects and among program leaders, especially around linked-structured data in the Wikimedia ecosystem:
    • Encourage development of trainings and GLAM-Wiki community events that help program leaders learn skills for collaborating with partners in using linked, structured, open data.
    • Write and share documentation of tools and processes, which lead to robust use of Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata in GLAM communities.
    • Partner closely with movement leaders in developing strategic Wikimedia outreach towards global organizations, including efforts with Europeana, DPLA, IFLA, ICOM, UNESCO, and other emerging opportunities.
  • Develop strategies that popularly align Wikimedia projects with the educational missions of GLAMs by communicating Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects as critical platforms for public access scholarly research, digital literacy, and cultural heritage

Skills and Qualificaitons:

Multiple Opportunities with the Electronic Literature Directory

HASTAC has some wonderful opportunities for contributions to scholarship on electronic literature, tied to a major project, the Electronic Literature Directory (ELD).

The Electronic Literature Directory is a collection of literary works, descriptions, and keywords. Both a repository of works and a critical companion to e-literature, the ELD hosts discussions that are capable of being referenced and revised over years of use, and the ELD feed directly into Electronic Literature Organization (ELO)‘s larger CELL project.

The ELD is looking for 3 Associate Editors and for entries:

Associate Editor positions:
The title of Associate Editor for the ELD will be given to selected members of our affiliated (CELL) database who agree to identify research areas of common interest between the ELD and other databases. The drafting and assignment of entries on specific works of born digital literature that are identified as incomplete, merely descriptive, or missing in one database, might be undertaken by the Associate Editor or assigned to others whose research interests are suitable. The creation, or assignment of one entry a month for presentation in the ELD is expected of each Associate.

Guidelines for ELD entries:

  • Entries must be about “electronic literature.” Electronic Literature refers to works with important literary aspects that take advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the stand-alone or networked computer. Within the broad category of electronic literature are several forms and threads of practice, some of which are:
  • Hypertext fiction and poetry, on and off the Web
  • Kinetic poetry presented in Flash and using other platforms
  • Computer art installations which ask viewers to read them or otherwise have literary aspects
  • Conversational characters, also known as chatterbots
  • Interactive fiction
  • Novels that take the form of emails, SMS messages, or blogs
  • Poems and stories that are generated by computers, either interactively or based on parameters given at the beginning
  • Collaborative writing projects that allow readers to contribute to the text of a work
  • Literary performances online that develop new ways of writing
  • Entries should not be written by the authors of the works that they describe.
  • Entries should be well-developed, well-written, descriptive, and accurate.
  • Entries should be written in English.

Contributing to the ELD will help:

  • expand the field of electronic literature
  • other scholars and curators putting together classes and exhibits
  • yourself by making your scholarship available in an open-access peer-reviewed platform opportunity

Please contact Joseph Tabbi regarding these opportunities.
