A new project from the Digital Scholarship Commons provides analysis of an archive of 10 million tweets from the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Since 13 October 2011, Emory University Library has collected over ten million tweets from the Occupy Wall Street Movement. For the anniversary of the first day of the Fall 2011 demonstrations, DiSC created a site that provides some visualizations of the tweets—heat maps, word clouds, and charts—as well some analysis.

We encourage you to take a look, share with friends, and let us know what you think.

DiSC's Fall Workshop series kicks off with Managing Your Digital Assets on Monday, September 17 at Noon.

 Digital assets—all those documents and files you gather and analyze for your research—often proliferate at exponential rates. At this workshop, Data Managment Specialist Jen Doty will offer guidance on useful practices for wrangling your data, including demonstrations of tools that work across platforms. Please bring your preferred mobile device (laptop, tablet, smartphone).

Every summer, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations host the Digital Humanities conference. This summer, the conference was held at the University of Hamburg and Emory University Libraries was represented by Brian Croxall (DiSC) and Rebecca Sutton Koeser (DPS). Rebecca has captured her thoughts on the conference in a series of posts for the library software team's Tech Know How site. They are thorough and insightful and I am happy to share them with you.

For those of you who don't know Rebecca, she earned her Ph.D. in English Literature from Emory and has been working as a Senior Software Engineer in the Robert W. Woodruff Library. She has worked on several digital scholarship projects including the Emory Women Writers Resource Project. Starting this fall, she will be partnering with DiSC on a project called Networking the Belfast Group.

The first post consists of Rebecca's general reflections on the conference and the subsequent posts are detailed reactions to specific panels and workshops.
