Roundtable Technology Exchange: Arts, Humanities, and Technology in the 21st Century




How can we use technology for marketing? What is its role, or potential role, in development? What about education? And social networking? How can we collaborate through technology? Can it help us share resources? What does technology offer us collectively?




Join us on July 31, 1 to 5 p.m., at the Alabama Department of Archives and History in Montgomery for the state's first Roundtable Technology Exchange. The roundtable will convene Alabama cultural, historical, art, and educational organizations to discuss our individual and shared tech opportunities and challenges.

The Roundtable Technology Exchange, a pre-conference event for Face the Future: Humanities and Technology in the 21st Century, is sponsored by the Alabama Department of Archives and History, the Alabama Humanities Foundation, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the Alabama Writers' Forum, the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts at Auburn University, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Troy University Rosa Parks Museum, and the University of Alabama Press.

This Goodly Land - New features!

A program of the Alabama Center for the Book, This Goodly Land: Alabama's Literary Landscape is an online literary map for the State of Alabama, a website that connects Alabama authors to the parts of the state that are/were significant to them.

A new feature of the site is "This Day in Alabama Literary History". When you access the home page, a program embedded in the page code automatically checks the day's date and presents you with a list of events in Alabama literary history associated with that date. You can subscribe to an RSS feed for "This Day in Alabama Literary History" by clicking on the feed icon in the lower left corner of the TGL home page.

This Goodly Land also has a blog - check out the video "Where are you from?" by writer Todd Keith, videos of presenters at the Albert Murray symposium, and a podcast of a lecture on William Bartram by Draughon Scholar Dr. John C. Hall.
