The document discusses the evolution of digital scholarship, emphasizing a shift from product-focused to service-oriented models of scholarship. It highlights the importance of training students in digital technologies and computational sciences, providing examples of courses and hands-on training initiatives. Keynote discussions at the 2009 CLIR colloquium focus on the need for collaboration, adaptive research methods, and open access publishing to enhance scholarly communication and practice.

3. Importance: We need to redefine the focus of scholarship from a product model and move towards considering a service-based model. This means we must reconceptualize scholarly endeavors to include a dedication to service rather than personal accomplishment. Scholarship is part of a collaborative process rather than a discreet product. Roles: To produce digital scholarship: several roles are needed: including project management Information management Creative Outreach Coordinator. This differs from the notion of required skills because individuals on a team may have many similar skills but must divide the workload.

4. Pedagogy: Problem: Are we hindering our digital humanities students by NOT training them in digital technologies and computational sciences? Teach fundamental concepts, rather applications and tools (teach Video Editing skills rather than teaching a student Final Cut or iMovie) Example 1: UNL’s 2 courses-- graduate theory of digital scholarship and applications for digital scholarship. UNL also creates “on-the-job” training for graduate students, including internships, and positions with digital scholarship projects Example 2: Digital history curriculum for public historians. develop skills and practices in students to take into the field (museum, historical society or library) http://www.digitalhistorycurriculum.org/ Lab Space : A space where students can meet, partner, work, and self-learn. A laboratory based on collaboration as well as convergence.

6. Keynote: Lev Manovitch Museums and libraries have put numerous collections online. Individuals are producing massive amounts of data of cultural interest. Tools to study these data have followed close behind. There are now great tools for visualizing very large data sets. This data comprises the global “cultural brain”

8. Keynote: Christine Borgman, “Scholarship in the Digital Age: Blurring the boundaries between the sciences and the humanities.” Read: Scholarship in the Digital Age http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=11333 .

9. 1) Scholarly information infrastructure: we can build it but it’s also emergent. 2) Science and, or, vs the humanities: Digital publication is largely the same, currently, as print publication. Except access/preservation/curation, which is expanded to library, publisher’s server, repository and homepage. Example: http://arXiv.org An OAI compliant archive of electronic preprints in physics, mathematics, computer science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics

10. Borgman’s Call to Action: Publication practices : Use online and open access publishing to increase the speed and scope of dissemination. Data : Define, capture, manage, share, reuse. Research methods : Adapt practices to ask new questions. Stop asking the same questions faster. Collaboration : Find partners with expertise that complements yours. Listen, learn and be patient. Incentives : Identify best practices for documenting, sharing and licensing content. Learning : Establish Cyber-Literacy early on.
