By Kevin Carey The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented or improved many world-changing things—radar, information theory, and synthetic self-replicating molecules, to name a few. Last month the university announced, to mild fanfare, an invention that could be similarly transformative, this time for higher education itself. It's called MITx. In that small lowercase letter, a great deal is contained. MITx is the next big step in the open-educational-resources movement that MIT helped start in 2001, when it began putting its course lecture notes, videos, and exams online, where anyone in the world could use them at no cost.

Depending on the type of web based material, there are different ways to cite. See below for citing a nonperiodical web page. You may use the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers to see all the different ways to cite different web materials (Section 5.6). OWL at Purdue has also created this guide to MLA's web citations: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ If you would like to cite a web site, you will need to include similar information to citing a book: author, publisher, web page title, version, date of publication, date of access, and medium -- in this case Web is the medium.

Vu sur Enssibrèves : Dans le cadre de ses programmes de recherche en partenariat avec les bibliothèques, OCLC vient de publier la première d’une série de trois vastes études internationales consacrées aux métadonnées sociales. Voici ma lecture de la première partie de cette étude en 3 volets, qui concerne les LAM (Library, Archives, Museum), j’utiliserai pour traduire Archives, Bibliothèques et Musées (ABM). Il s’agit d’une lecture sélective au fil du document dans laquelle je pointe les éléments (constats, évaluation, exemples) qui me semblent intéressants et/ou innovants.

The Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the University of Victoria provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing teaching, research, dissemination, and preservation in different disciplines. During a week of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, participants share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from industry and government sectors. Described by one participant as an event that "combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp," the DHSI prides itself on its informal and collegial atmosphere.

Few months ago, we started a complete rewrite of the new version of Calenda powered by Lodel. The biggest part of the public side of Calenda—programaticaly speaking—is its search engine: this engine is used everywhere, not only on the result pages, but also on the front page and the event page. Our search engine choice is Lucene/Solr, we already use it to index and provide faceted search on all the contents from Revues.org, Hypotheses.org and the actual Calenda. Solr is fast, powerful, easy to use and to maintain, and supported by a strong community. It also provides a very interesting functionnality: dynamic fields.

Les réseaux sociaux scientifiques sur Internet : compte-rendu d’une courte étude | Le carnet de recherche de VertigO
Afin de s’orienter dans ses développements, [VertigO] a effectué entre 2009 et 2010 une recherche préliminaire sur la question des réseaux sociaux scientifiques numériques (pour des détails voir http://vertigo.hypotheses.org/456 ). Cette recherche visait aussi à voir comment le développement d’une telle plateforme serait perçu par des chercheurs et intervenants en activité dans un domaine de recherche/intervention multidisciplinaire. Dans le première étape, nous avons repéré et analysé différents réseaux sociaux scientifiques numériques existants (tout en ayant une définition large du réseau social) (Research Gates, Nature Network, Médiaterre, etc…). L’étude webographique réalisée préalablement à cette recherche a permis de constater la présence d’un grand nombre de réseaux et autres serveurs scientifiques et d’un certain nombre de sites dédiés au domaine scientifique “développement”.Shanda Entertainment: Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited - Overview
