Jennifer Howard writes<\/a> about\u00a0Coapi.<\/strong>
\n“Today Kansas and 21 other universities and colleges announced that they\u2019re joining forces to form the Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions, or Coapi. The new group will \u201ccollaborate and share implementation strategies, and advocate on a national level,\u201d it said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. The group\u2019s members so far include Arizona State, Columbia, Duke, Emory, Harvard, Oregon State, Stanford, and Trinity universities as well as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Oberlin College. \u201cThe goal is to provide more practical advice and ideas for refining and expanding policies on our individual campuses but also to leverage those policies into action,\u201d said Lorraine Haricombe, the dean of libraries at Kansas.”

Kyle Chayka discusses<\/a> the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Digital Humanities grants.<\/strong><\/span>
\n“The Digital Humanities Start-Up grants are specifically aimed at projects examining “the philosophical or practical implications and impact of the use of emerging technologies in specific fields or disciplines of the humanities,” according to the NEH Web site. NYU is also the recipient of a digital humanities grant for developing an open database for use in Ancient Mediterranean and Near East scholarship, while the\u00a0New York Public Library\u00a0<\/strong>will use its grant to create a “mobile application” allowing users to study “multimedia editions of musical theater plays.” A Stephen Sondheim iPad app, perhaps?”
