MITH Coffeehouse
MITH's Coffeehouse Conversations are focused discussion meetings held
in MITH's CoffeeHouse Lounge. Anyone may propose a CoffeeHouse
Conversation--simply complete the sign-up form here. Appropriate
topics are anything related to digital humanities, cyberculture, or
new media including issues of special concern to graduate students or
other MITH constituencies. If your event is approved you take full
ownership of it: you do as much publicity as you like, and assume
responsibility for facilitating.

Lisa Conathan & Sara Snyder:
"What is that thing?: Experiences in Scholarly Recording with MiniDisc Technology"
Recording voice and sound material once was revolutionized by the portable tape recorder. Today historians, archivists, linguists, and other scholars are exploring various portable digital technologies such as MiniDisc (http://www.minidisc.org/) to capture, manipulate, and preserve human speech.
All are invited to an informal discussion of experiences working with sound recordings and technology. Two CLIS archvies students have offered to briefly share their work and talk about their own experiences collecting oral history and linguistic recordings.
