[Air-L] CFP: Digital Scholarly Communication @ HASTAC 2011

*HASTAC 2011: Digital Scholarly Communication*

What will a dissertation or monograph look like (or sound like) in 20 years?
With new forms of digital scholarship evolving, how can credit be given for
projects that are non-traditional? How will university presses and libraries
publish and archive new and evolving forms of scholarship?

The creation and sharing of new academic knowledge in the 21st century is
pushing the boundaries of traditional systems of scholarship. Our question
to a diverse audience from both within and beyond the academy is: What next?
How do we adapt our systems, practices, and institutions to the creation,
display, communication, presentation, dissemination, and organization of
21st century digital scholarship?

Librarians, PhD students, junior scholars, faculty up for tenure,
archivists, Masters students, multimedia artists, publishers, school
teachers, technology designers, innovators, digital humanists at any stage
in their careers -- all have a stake in how we re-imagine digital scholarly
communication.

HASTAC 2011 invites you to join this lively discussion of digital scholarly
communication in the 21st century.
