ProfHacker in The Chronicle of Higher Education put a notice out that people new to digital humanities can receive a mentor through DHCommons to help guide them. It also notes that those who have experience in DH can apply to be a mentor. Although ACH has had a mentor program, it seems to have been more unofficial and the technical sign-up was confusing (and funny!). The partnership with ACH and DH Commons allows greater access, and less confusion, for people to sign up.

This brief article highlights one of the preconvention workshops that was available for MLA 2012. This workshop was hosted by DHCommons, a digital humanist project intended to facilitate the collaboration of either people in the field of digital humanities or people looking to break into the field. The article contains the full announcement for the workshop, highlighting its purpose, its guests, and those sponsoring the project. Including Texas A&M.

This is an opportunity for people who want to learn more about digital humanities and how to research and teach it. Digital expertises will show their digital projects and form small groups that shows technologies and skills to get started on their digital project. At the end of this event, participants will have a plan how to start their digital humanities project and have resources that can help them in their field.
