Lewis, Vivian; Spiro, Lisa; Wang, Xuemao; Cawthorne, Jon E.
Council on Library and Information Resources
This report sheds light on the expertise required to support a robust and sustainable digital scholarship (DS) program. It focuses first on defining and describing the key domain knowledge, skills, competencies, and mindsets at some of the world's most prominent digital scholarship programs. It then identifies the main strategies used to build this expertise, both formally and informally. The work is set in a global context, examining leading digital scholarship organizations in China, India, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The report provides recommendations to help those currently involved in or considering embarking on a digital scholarship program. Appended are: (1) Profiles of Participating Digital Scholarship Organizations; and (2) Sample Interview Questions. [The foreword was written by Chuck Henry.]
