Change • Change in scholarship is big, deep, complex, long-term, technical, social, cultural • Change will fundamentally reconfigure core activities of the academy • Shift from acquiring to managing • Shift from generating/pushing to receiving/pulling
Collaboration • THOMAS: Before we can fully collaborate externally, we need to learn to do so internally. • ATKINS: must find better ways of collaborating on development of middleware and common-operated digital libraries • COURANT: the value everywhere of cooperation instead of competition
Synergy • “Alignment of mutual self-interest” between libraries/museums/archives – users – computing community • Learning, Engagement, Research
Issues • Barrier-Free Access • Content integrity • Content curation • Content persistence/archiving • Content federation • Domain expertise • Cost/Funding • Expectations (high and low)
