DMAC notes: digital publishing

Notes for the day:
Finish concept in 90 on Sunday and then turn attention to the final project. Cindy said that it's no different than what we need to do in other venues. Keep a couple of ideas cooking simultaneously. One might be an omelette on the front burner that needs immediate attention while another might be soup that just needs an occasional stirring.

Send an annotated bibliography entry to Trey for compilation.

We will load to Soundcloud or YouTube first in order to maintain the quality of the file and not exhaust the file storage capacity on the blog site. This will also help if multiple people are trying to stream the clip at the same time.

How to receive credit for creating and publishing multimedia projects:
Start three years before you want do publish multimedia scholarship because most departments do not have a framework in place and will need time to discuss and revise the tenure process. Lanette reminded us to remain vigilant becauSe future revisions may eliminate the work you've done. Also examine the process for sabbaticals.

My thoughts: it is so strange to me to have all of this talk about tenure programs and publications. My tenure at a two year college was built on teaching and service. It is not surprising that Liberal Arts profs and digital humanities folks are rocking the boat and making changes to the definition of scholarship.
