        Subject: Call for Nominations: SHOT SIGCIS Mahoney Prize for an Article in the History of Computing and Information Technology

The Mahoney Prize (http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize) recognizes an
outstanding article in the history of computing and information technology,
broadly conceived. The Mahoney Prize commemorates the late Princeton
scholar Michael S. Mahoney, whose profound contributions to the history of
computing came from his many articles and book chapters. The prize consists
of a $500 award and a certificate. For the 2020 prize, articles published
in the preceding three years (2017, 2018, and 2019) are eligible for
nomination. The Mahoney Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in
Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and is presented during the
annual meeting of our parent group, the Society for the History of
Technology.

The deadline for submission for the 2020 Mahoney Prize is *May 1, 2020*. To
nominate an article or book chapter, please send a copy via email to all
members of the 2020 Prize Committee (addresses can be found at
http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize).

        From: Ryan Dubnicek 
        Subject: RFP: 2020 HTRC Advanced Collaborative Support (ACS)

Applications are now open for the HathiTrust Research Center's Advanced
Collaborative Support program. Apply by April 30 to be considered for an award
of HTRC staff time and expertise, technical guidance and support, and compute
resources in order to complete a HathiTrust-related text and data mining
project.


All selected project teams must be led by a team member with a full-time
appointment at a HathiTrust member institution
(https://www.hathitrust.org/community), but may include collaborators from non-
affiliated institutions. Awardees may include faculty, graduate students,
postdoctoral scholars, librarians, and others who specialize in digital
humanities or computational social science. Proposals may come from individuals
or research teams.


The theme this round is 'project completion'. We especially seek to
collaborate with researchers who have started a project with HTRC tools or data
but who got stuck and gave it up. Reasons for putting aside the project could
have been difficulty with dataset creation, questions about HTRC tool use, or
lack of support generally. Previous ACS awardees are not eligible. Such
proposals should demonstrate:


  *   A well-developed research question
  *   Identified analysis methods
  *   Unfinished analysis work with HTRC data and/or tools
  *   A feasible completion timeline within 6 months


Proposals are due April 30, 2020. Projects will run from June 15, 2020 through
no later than January 15, 2021.


Inquiries can be sent to acs@hathitrust.org
