| * Short bio: [[https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-howard-hotson|Howard Hotson]] is Professor of Early Modern Intellectual History at the University of Oxford. Amongst his central interests is the possibility of rewriting aspects of transnational intellectual and cultural exchange 'from the ground up' by rooting institutions, traditions and ideas in 'intellectual geographies' created by different combinations of physical, economic, social, political, cultural and religious conditions. These interests have drawn him into the social as well as technical problems of devising sustainable digital infrastructure to support large-scale, collaborative research during the next generation. Much of his thinking has been conditioned by directing since 2009 the Mellon-funded research project, [[http://www.culturesofknowledge.org/|Cultures of Knowledge]] in Oxford, responsible for creating the collaboratively populated union catalogue, [[http://emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/home|Early Modern Letters Online]]. Between 2014 and 2018 he also chaired the COST Action [[http://www.republicofletters.net/|Reassembling the Republic of Letters]], the findings of which have just been published by the [[https://www.univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-403-1?locale-attribute=en|Göttingen University Press]]. He is also currently the PI on the AHRC-funded project, [[https://networkingarchives.org/|Networking Archives]]. | * Short bio: [[https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-howard-hotson|Howard Hotson]] is Professor of Early Modern Intellectual History at the University of Oxford.

| * Short bio: Mathias Göbel received his Dipl.-Hdl. (Economics and German) from Göttingen University in 2012. Since 2012 Mathias is preparing the “Genetic-critical and annotated hybrid-edition of Theodor Fontane’s notebooks based on a virtual research environment” at Göttingen State and University Library. He is responsible for the digital workflow, IT infrastructure and the presentation layer (website) of the [[https://fontane-nb.dariah.eu/index.html|Theodor Fontane Notizbücher project]]. Since 2015 Mathias is a member of the DraCor research group (formerly known as DLINA), reworking a larger text corpus of dramatic texts to fit the requirements of a network analysis based on co-occurence of characters on stage. And yes, Mathias is doing some Text Mining as well. | * Short bio: Mathias Göbel received his Dipl.-Hdl. (Economics and German) from Göttingen University in 2012.

| * Abstract: In October 2017 the Herzog August Bibliothek in cooperation with the University Library Leipzig started to fill the DFG-funded project Specialised Information Service Book Studies, Library and Information Science (FID BBI) with life. It is our aim to ensure that researchers in these and related fields are provided with the specialised literature they need for their work. The first step to achieve this was the development of a discovery tool which should make the search for literature easier but also more focused. As a basis, we use the open source software VuFind adapted to guidelines set out by the Herzog August Bibliothek. The aim is to develop a perfectly fitting research tool for the FID BBI. It is an ongoing challenge to find a means of filtering different data resources to present clients with a catalogue both selective according to their requirements and comprehensive within those parameters. The subjects of our Specialised Information Service are very wide. The portal offers quick access to literature but can also be used for more complex research questions. Currently we are working on customer-driven acquisition and digitise on demand services, for open and out of print publications. | * Abstract: In October 2017 the Herzog August Bibliothek in cooperation with the University Library Leipzig started to fill the DFG-funded project Specialised Information Service Book Studies, Library and Information Science (FID BBI) with life.
