>A task force is preparing a document for the Faculty Senate at UMass 
Amherst
>on scholarship in the digital age. We talk about lots of vexing issues with
>respect to old and new or emerging reward structures, the economics of
>publishing, etc. Most of the members are library-centric scholars, or actual
>librarians.
>I find myself tasked with drafting the section on promotion and review
>considerations. In particular, I have been asked to show some examples where
>universities, schools, colleges or specific departments have found new types
>of scholarly artifacts worthy of recognition. If you know of an example
>where the traditional consideration of books and articles in top tier
>journals is being augmented with other types of uniquely digital
>contributions, please let me know directly.
>
>I will share the results of this survey with the list when it is complete.
