SUMMARY:Friday Frontiers: Maria Goicoechea De Jorge “New Readers for Old 
 Texts: Sharing the Workflow of a Digitally Enriched Children Literature Ed
 ition”
DESCRIPTION:Registration Link: https://dariah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZc
 kc-yopzwrHdC_5DDNQU–w7j72Fo4hZFa\n\nDescription:\n\nLibraries worldwide 
 are investing a significant portion of their resources in digitising their
  collections. Digitised formats are immensely valuable for researchers but
  may seem dry and unappealing to broader audiences\, particularly when the
  original content was intended for children. This talk will present the pr
 eliminary research conducted on digitised formats of popular children’s 
 literature found in specialised libraries\, focussing on the models provid
 ed by two institutions: the British Library’s “Turning the Pages” so
 ftware and the National Library of Spain’s “Madgazine\,” used in the
  interactive editions of Don Quixote and Leonardo da Vinci’s Madrid Code
 x.  The discussion will revolve around the specific workflow we tested fo
 r creating a digitally enhanced edition of a collection of stories entitle
 d “Plage of Dragons\,” published in 1923 and based on the Spanish adap
 tations of Edith Nesbit’s tales.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\nMaría Goico
 echea is Associate Professor of the English Department at the Complutense 
 University of Madrid (UCM) and coordinator of the Master’s Degree in Dig
 ital Letters. Her research interests focus on literary and artistic recept
 ion in the field of cyberculture. She has published extensively on cybercu
 lture from the double perspective of science-fiction and electronic litera
