The Problem with Print: publishing born digital scholarship
Helen Burgess
Monday, November 25, 2013 · 4 - 5 PM
Dr. Burgess will discuss some of the difficulties for academics
seeking to work and publish outside traditional "print-bound"
models of humanities scholarship - including issues of
professional evaluation and distribution - and show some
examples of "born digital" works that would benefit from a new
model of publishing.
A reception, sponsored by the Libby Kuhn Endowment Fund, will follow the program.
