Digital scholarship centers report and Web resource available from Coalition for Networked Information

摘要

An emerging trend that the Coalition for Networked Information (CM) has been highlighting for the past few years is the establishment of digital scholarship centers or labs in universities and colleges. CNI invited participation in a workshop, Digital Scholarship Centers: Trends and Good Practice, to document the current centers and identify good practice, in April 2014, and 24 institutions who had centers up and running responded to the call. Each participating center completed a template describing its mission, a key project, types of staff available and services offered. The workshop included sessions on describing how the center had been established, the types of staff involved, the range of services, links to teaching and learning (as links to research were a given) and organizational issues.
