The document discusses digital scholarship and how it relates to blogging, open access, and evaluating and rewarding digital work. Some key points discussed include: - Blogging is social, democratic, can cover various topics professionally or informally, and can reach large audiences. - Digital formats provide common distribution and social networks enable new connections, while openness facilitates these connections. - Questions are raised around whether digital scholarship represents "proper" scholarship and how it can be recognized and rewarded through official routes like tenure. - Alternatives are discussed for recreating existing evaluation models or generating new guidelines to include digital scholarship.
