Scholarship 2.0
Laura Blankenship January 12th, 2008
For the last two days, I’ve been at NITLE’s Scholarly Collaboration and Small Colleges in the Digital Age conference. It’s been a great conference so far. Both Tim and Kathleen have been liveblogging the panels and have really good notes and commentary on each of those sessions. Here are what I think are some key points so far:
- Scholarship needs to change
- Promotion and tenure requirements often get in the way of pursuing new forms of scholarship
- Many issues about publishing digitally have yet to be worked out
- There are lots of interesting projects being pursued, often out of sheer devotion to a topic
- It’s difficult to get faculty to participate in projects, and to weigh in on the issues
I’m looking forward to a few more good sessions today.
