Second call: please note extended deadline. The Association for Computers in the Humanities will be sponsoring an exhibit table on Digital Humanities Publication at the 2010 American Library Association midwinter meeting (January 15-18, 2010). We are seeking expressions of interest from interested digital humanities projects and publications who would like to have a presence at the ALA meeting but cannot afford an exhibit space on their own. This is an excellent opportunity to present your project to a very wide audience, and to participate in the ALA exhibit at low cost and with simple logistics. (Those who have been exhibitors at ALA before will know how much that is worth!) We hope the exhibit will be a showcase for diverse and important digital humanities work and publications. The total costs of the table (which is a "small press table") will be approximately $3000 (including internet and other services). These costs will be shared among the participating exhibitors based on level of presence (how much exhibit time you would like), project size, and ability to pay. The exhibit runs for three full days, and the table can accommodate two or three projects at a time, so in principle we have about 12-18 half-day slots, but we can also allocate time in other ways, depending on need. In addition, participants may leave brochures and other materials at the table for distribution. We expect to have someone staffing the booth at all times who will be able to answer general questions about ACH, digital humanities, and the projects being exhibited. We will also have at least one computer at the table at all times with links to all participating projects. If you are interested in participating, please send email to [log in to unmask] with the following information, by September 15, 2009: --The name of your project and a brief description of what you would be exhibiting --How much time would your project be able to have someone present at the table? (e.g. a half day, two full days, etc.) --What date(s) would you be interested in attending? (please indicate any specific constraints) Members of the ACH executive council will review the applications. Once we have an initial sense of the level of interest, we will contact applicants (by the end of September) to determine what the cost will be and give applicants an opportunity to confirm their participation.
