THIS is at least part of why UPs /must/ embrace open access. Must engage people on a lifelong basis for an educated society. #AAUP15

This symbolic economy of prestige maps directly onto the material economy. #AAUP15

How do Maher's remarks on prestige building match against Tiefenthaler's remarks on "top" universities holding more & more wealth? #AAUP15

“@CritRikk @martin_eve my spelling error earlier: James Maher”< my bad too

(My thought, not his #AAUP15)

Why are there economic problems in ScholComms? Partly B/C it mirrors broader acad econ. Marr: it's both dissemination & assessment #AAUP15

All too many resonances with problems in UK HE at #AAUP15. Focus on quantified measurement and accountability leading to focus on financial.

Wealthiest ten US universities hold a third of the wealth. Coming soon to a UK near you! #AAUP15

It's all about... Pynchon and Deleuze. And it has the same title as her chapter: "Lines of Flight".

I do find it remarkable what goes uncited. J Ryan's The Novel After Theory chapter on Pynchon & Deleuze doesn't mention Mattessich's book.

Still find in-flight Wifi totally odd, especially on a transatlantic flight. Greetings from 20,000 feet, all!

Need to be more specific about the "societies against OA rhetoric" in the same way that I say "publishers" is hardly a homogeneous category.

Interesting which societies object to OA (those that make money from subs). Lots of small but valued socs asking about OLH at the moment...

(Mais les profites sur les monographs sont moins que les journeaux) #csdhach2015

Oligopole dans la presse scientifique, dit @monterosato #csdhach2015

Ah, @monterosato has let me off having to exercise my French by presenting en Anglais!

(But then, we usually mediate the database anyway -- we write interfaces that are more conducive to narrative #csdhach2015)

Given that the RDB is "f--ing terrible" (@lycheefan's technical term) for narrative, is it the right form for DH work? #csdhach2015

"Metadata". Just data? https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul #csdhach2015

. @lycheefan: the data do not speak for themselves. Narrative persists/is fundamental. #csdhach2015

. @lycheefan raising fundamental question of what it means to "read" digital literature; distant/shallow/non-consumptive etc. #csdhach2015

. @lycheefan talking about relational databases and the rigidity/structuration of SQL, which might be problematic for some DH #csdhach2015

. @elli_m gives a neutral appraisal, as chair, of just how amazing this session looks #csdhach2015

Thinking of OCR technology as a species of compositor, fashioning a new edition - @ryancordell #csdhach2015
