Stocking Stuffer

Now available: the Blackwell Companion to Digital Humanities, edited by Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens and John Unsworth.

Tabke of contents below the fold. Note the heavy representation of UMD folk: in addition to Susan’s leadership in co-editing the volume, I contributed the chapter on “Interface, Aesthetics, and Usability” and Martha Nell Smith contributed the chapter on “Electronic Scholarly Editing.” Go terps!

For those experiencing sticker shock, the volume's contributors were able to retain some electronic rights to their essays and versions of a number of them will be appearing here:

I understand there should also be a paperback edition out in a year.
