Working Together or Apart: Promoting the Next Generation of Digital Scholarship

As part of its ongoing programs in digital scholarship and the cyberinfrastructure to support teaching, learning and research, the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) held a symposium on September 15, 2008 in which a group of some 30 leading scholars was invited to

• articulate the research challenges that will use the new media to advance the analysis and interpretations of text, images and other sources of interest to the humanities and social sciences and in so doing,
• pose interesting problems for ongoing computational research.

White papers were commissioned to help frame the issues. This report contains the final versions of those papers, as well as an account of the day’s discussion and a summary of a report by Diane Zorich on digital humanities centers.
