Summer Interns

By Anne Welsh, on 10 June 2011

We are delighted to announce that over the summer months several students will be completing voluntary internships at UCLDH.

As well as assisting us in three of our projects, the internship programme gives us the opportunity to provide inhouse training on TEI. Julianne Nyhan, Teaching Fellow in Digital Humanities and member of the TEI Council, has developed the programme of activities, and the first sessions, in which interns have been encoding data for the Day of Digital Humanities have already taken place.

Our summer interns are Inga Jones, Eunhae Jung, May Warren and Francine Wood, who are all students on the  MA LIS programme.

Join me and the rest of the panel, Friday 3 June, to share what the internet means to you, debate how Higher Education could better embrace the Web and describe what that transformation would look like.
