I attended (and very much enjoyed) the 2011 HASTAC Conference in Ann Arbor earlier this month. The keynotes are available online– make sure to check out Cathy Davidson’s and Siva Vaidhyanathan’s.
The conference twitter hastag (#hastac2011) was really active and includes lots of analysis and links for your reading pleasure.

Flickr user Belacquashua has posted a great collection of book cover imagery spanning 1902 to the mid-1980s. I wonder how many of these editions are available in our collections at Bird. A must see for bibliophiles!

Also, there are some great Paris Review covers as well.

This looks really really cool… a story written in text messages collected by readers in locations throughout the city of Syracuse.
