  20. questions to discuss http://bit.ly/1lhBx6h • What platforms and systems are common to these activities? • What staffing resources are unique to each enterprise and which can be shared across these three areas? • What possibilities exist for shared services across institutions, modelled perhaps after super computing centers? What can be ‘outsourced’ as a commodity? • What are the specific facilities needs for digital humanities (the equivalent of the biology lab?) ? • What sorts of policy changes will be needed to foster innovation in this area (tenure and promotion, IP, etc?) • How does this story play out on different campuses of different type and scale? • And of course the perrenial problem, how do you pay for all of this? • How does this impact the student experience? Thank you!
