I have a blog hosted at City where I try to post updates about what we are doing in the course. In my latest post there I announce I have set up a new practice blog that only students and I can access, so they can practice without the anxieties of publicness.
I have set up a blog at City blogs. It's at http://blogs.city.ac.uk/epriego/. There I will keep track of my academic and extra-curricular activities and I will also use it to share ideas and references relevant to the courses I lead or participate in at City University London.
Today I will be talking about "the digital humanities" (DH) for the Library, Publishing and Information Society seminar at City University London (#citylis). Lee Skallerup will be joining us live from Kentucky.
The final session of our Digital Societies module at City University London is today. If there is such a concept as “digital culture(s)”, what are some of the key issues around the “digitial society” or should we say “digital societies”?
Time has flown and today we have the final session(s) of our Digital Cultures modules. We have attempted to offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives that might help us to re-configure the digital media/digital culture landscape.

10:30-12:50
14.00-16:30
It promises to be a great day!

A quick post at the Digital Cultures blog on Weeks 3 and 4, with some photos of our superstar guest lecturers.
It’s been quite a journey: it makes sense that given that we have been discussing the implications of using digital media everything has passed so fast and at the same time it’s been quite labour-intensive.
The materials we have collected on Moodle are a good indicator of the intensity and complexity of the questions we have been working on, and a quick look at the links we have collected under the #CityDigiCult hashtag on Twitter gives us back a plethora of work to consider.
On Week 3 I really enjoyed how we went from Sabrina Francis’ presentation on social media strategy at City University London to historical and theoretical questions of collaboration and authorship in art in Blaise Cronin’s guest lecture.
In Spyridon Georgadis’ talk we also had the opportunity to find out how the British Council engages with its audience via social media, how to deal with some of…

We go into week 3 of our Digital Cultures module at City University London…
For Week 3 of our Digital Cultures Module we’ll have an exciting day covering different aspects of digital strategies, including social media engagement and collaborative practices.
To start the day Sabrina Francis, social media officer at City University, will talk with us about her role and the social media strategy at City.
From 11:30am we will have a guest lecture by Professor Blaise Cronin (Indiana University) titled “How Collaborative Practices are Changing our Conception of Authorship”. Check Moodle for room information and the abstract for this lecture.
In the afternoon session Spyridon Georgiadis from the British Council will talk about the social media strategy at the British Council, and we will then round up with an exploration of how blogging and different platforms can be integrated in digital marketing strategies for wider public impact.
Please check our Moodle for all the relevant links. Also don’t forget to check our #CityDigiCult

This week I set up a public blog for the Digital Cultures module Lyn Robinson and I are leading.
I shared a Google document hoping to crowdsource a supplementary Digital Cultures bibliography. Can you help?
It is my great pleasure to announce that in 2013 I will be joining the Department of Information Science at City University London as Lecturer in Library Science.
