7. Questions for Small Groups ► What is driving Digital Scholarship? Is there a question of purpose or definitions? ► What are the current constraints and inhibitors? Time, money, tenure considerations? ► What are the success factors? ► What has enabled you to engage in digital scholarship? ► What works? What kind of academic support have you found useful?

8. General Drivers ► Knowledge synthesis ► Publishing in electronic-only journals (hyperlinked) ► Desire for feedback on work ► Need to connect/interact/collaborate with other scholars ► Belief that D.S. is less expensive and more flexible than print publishing ► Access ► Ability to merge scholarship with teaching

9. Current Constraints/Inhibitors ► Digital can’t replace the human interactive experience ► Lack of institutional recognition ► Intellectual property concerns ► Lack of trust in the future of technologies ► Preservation/standards rollover/digital migration ► Credibility and authenticity ► Lack of literacy regarding digital information ► Time ► Technical knowledge ► Worries about security

10. Needs and Concerns ► Need the tools for both research and teaching ► Institutional repository ► Need to know about others doing digital work ► Need a back door for the research process: development vs. production servers ► Need a core level of integration between UW Libraries and campus-wide Computing ► Need open source tools ► Need to solve issues of rights management

11. Needs and Concerns (cont.) ► Need ways to ensure quality control ► Distinction between being published and being distributed ► Need to know where to go to get help ► Need support from the very highest levels of University Administration ► Evaluation criteria ► Quality control

12. Needs and Concerns (cont.) ► Need to document scholars’ process of research ► Need a user/producer interface ► Need to solve hardware disparity: students possess cutting edge hardware, while staff and faculty on a several-year turnover of equipment. ► Increased need for information fluency regarding digital materials and scholarship

13. Other Observations ► Learning new technologies can change how you think ► Need better methods of search and retrieval ► Access could make scholarship more available to the public at large ► Difference between digital scholarship and digitized scholarship ► Stop differentiating between digital and traditional scholarship ► Think about digital scholarship in terms of “life cycle” ► Remember the digital divide ► Note that commuter and distance-learning campuses are already ahead in some respects in the digital arena ► What about the burden on the instructor? 24X7 access/expectations ► Need to understand the difference between L1 and L2 computer users.
