- CFP: Code4Lib Special Issue: Static websites for scholarly editions and other publications in the HumanitiesCode4Lib Call for PapersSpecial issue: Static websites for scholarly editions and other publications in the HumanitiesCFP URL: https://journal.code4lib.org/call-for-submissionsStatic websites are increasingly recognized as a sustainable solution for digital editions and other scholarly publications in the Humanities. They are broadly defined as applications that do not rely, or rely only minimally, on server-side processing; some definitions restrict static websites to applications that are free of JavaScript; others embrace its use for complex client-side generation. While static websites offer durability and ease of maintenance, they may present limitations in functionality and scalability. We frame the question of static publications within the discussion about minimal computing in digital humanities and sustainability of research outputs as a research data management practice.This special issue will consist of short reports (1,000–2,000 words) on practical experiences and lessons learned when developing, maintaining, or refactoring digital editions and other types of research outputs as static publications. Contributions may address project-specific solutions, generic workflows, automation strategies, institutional approaches, and more. Contributions from any practitioner working on digital publication are welcome, regardless of the stage or sophistication of the publication’s development. This includes boutique, shoestring publications created by PhD students or early-career researchers who may lack financial or technical support and resources, as well as large-scale projects that rely on institutional backing, development teams, practices, and infrastructure. We encourage authors to make their code and data related to their submission, or a sample of them, available in FAIR compliant repositories (e.g., Zenodo) and link to it from their article. While the emphasis is on hands-on reporting, reflective position papers discussing the definitions, sustainability, and technical or conceptual boundaries of “the static” are also welcome. Reports may describe unpublished work as well as work that has been published or presented elsewhere.Paper submissionFirst, authors will submit a 500-word abstract through this form: https://forms.gle/Kg5Fp1dfBfTn6jsi9. Five weeks later, they will submit a first complete draft (1,000-2,000 words), followed by the final draft four weeks after that. The papers will be published as a thematic special issue in the Code4Lib journal approximately six months after the abstract is submitted. All submissions will undergo peer review by the guest editors and the editors of the journal to ensure that all contributions align with the focus of the special issue and meet the journal’s quality criteria.For the complete guide on how to format the articles, please see: https://journal.code4lib.org/article-guidelines.Important datesAbstract submission (500 words): 17.04.2026First draft (1,000–2,000 words): 22.05.2026Final draft (1,000–2,000 words): 19.06.2026Publication: autumn 2026Guest editorsPeter Dängeli (University of Bern)Chiara Martignano (University of Padua)Matteo Romanello (University of Zurich)Elena Spadini (University of Bern)Joris van Zundert (Huygens Institute)

Over the past few years, I have seen an increased interest in “sensory friendly” programming at libraries. This has included an influx of programs such as toddler explorations, sensory explorations, and more. Our library has spent the past few years reformatting, adapting, and implementing our seasonal “Sensory Explorations” program. Check out some of the highlights below! What Is It? Sensory Explorations is a program recommended for children aged 2-5 that is hands on, messy, fun. At its core, it is an opportunity for children to engage in tactile, early learning activities at the library. When hosting, I typically plan to incorporate at least five of the eight sensory systems. Yes, I did say eight! Most people learned about the “five senses” as being taste, smell, sight, touch, and sound. However, there are three additional systems we use every day that are lesser known: the proprioceptive system, vestibular system, and interoception….
