COST Action IS0901 “Women Writers In History”
Second Training School 9-13 May 2011
This second Training School of the Action will, again, take place in Huygens ING, The Hague.
Objective is that in the near future:
- participants will be able to use the WomenWriters database for their own research questions,
- they might also have the capacity of explaining to assistants or students how to work in the database,
- they can formulate their needs for features to be added to the database or to the Virtual Research Environment to be developed.
Trainees will work individually on their own research material. Each day there will also be some short presentations: not only (by the trainers) of the database (structure and content), but also by the trainees, who will present to each other their research and the ways in which they would want to use the database.
Any problems encountered during the training will of course be discussed together.
