Guest Speaker to Discuss the Social Network of Early Modern Literature


Dr. David Eichmann from University of Iowa will present the project Shakeosphere, the Social Network of Early Modern Literature, at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 22 in Violette Hall Room 1224.

Shakeosphere is a digital research and teaching tool that allows users to search, analyze and visualize the early modern print and manuscript network derived from the English Short Title Catalogue (English publications from 1473-1800). Eichmann will discuss the approaches used to extract the social network data and visualize it. After the presentation, he will also answer questions about graduate study in informatics and in library and information science at the University of Iowa.
