Literature + | Currents In Electronic Literacy (liu)
Following up on a pilot course I taught in academic year 2006-2007, I have created a suite of undergraduate and graduate courses titled "Literature+".1 The essential idea is stated on the wiki sites for the courses as follows:
Because of the recent, shared emphasis in many fields on digital methods, scholars in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and sciences increasingly need to collaborate across disciplines. This course reflects theoretically and practically on the new digitally facilitated interdisciplinarity by asking students to choose a literary work and treat it according to one or more of the research paradigms prevalent in other fields of study.
Students, for example, can choose a story or poem to model, simulate, map, visualize, encode, text analyze, sample, mashup, storyboard, blog, or redesign as a game, machinima, database, hypertext, or virtual world.2

HPCwire: The Next Big Thing in Humanities, Arts and Social Science Computing: Cultural Analytics
Manovich: "Big Humanities" (the term I coined in 2007) is one of the ways I use to characterize a new approach for the study of culture made possible by a convergence of a number of forces. Other terms that can be also used are "Cultural Datamining," "Culture as Data," or (my preferred term) "Cultural Analytics."

About « re:MEDIA.ting Scholarship
This blog is in its infancy, but its purpose is to add to the plethora of growing conversations on multimedia (or digital medias), its potentialities and effects, and its emerging place/space at the University. This is an attempt to discuss the implications and applications of bringing University practices out of its strict adherence to text-only scholarship and into the emerging multimedia world–a shift from 19th century “tradition” to 21st century possibility.

Darwin to the Rescue - ChronicleReview.com
Literary Darwinists, whose work emphasizes the discovery of the evolutionary patterns of behavior within literary texts — the Iliad in terms of dominance and aggression, or Jane Austen in terms of mating rituals — and sets itself firmly against 30 years of what they see as anti-scientific literary theories like poststructuralism and Marxism

recursivepublic.net
R ecursivePublic.net is a collection of scholarly work on internets, intellectual properties, publics and their spheres, free softwares and free cultures, histories of software, networks and their denizens, new theories of liberalisms, and other plural things. Or maybe it is an experiment in scholarly remix, which means something more than sampling, cutting and pasting. Maybe it is a place for conceptual remix. Or maybe it's something that is blurring the lines between an online repository, a scholarly journal and edited volume. More than a blog, less than a large-scale publishing project.

Brad Wheeler, and Diana G. Oblinger
Cyberinfrastructure permits a new kind of scholarly inquiry and education, empowering communities to innovate and to revolutionize what they do, how they do it, and who participates.
Making Research and Education Cyberinfrastructure Real
Francine Berman
Providing an evolving foundation for 21st-century research and education, cyberinfrastructure is both a focus for invention and an accelerator of innovation, linked through a trajectory that begins with design and evolves to broad-based use.
Things to Do While Waiting for the Future to Happen:
Building Cyberinfrastructure for the Liberal Arts
David Green and Michael Roy
What is the current thinking about cyberinfrastructure for the liberal arts, what models for transinstitutional collaboration and institution building are emerging, and what steps can campuses take to move this agenda forward?

The Journal of Electronic Publishing: On the Threshold of Cyberscholarship
The widespread availability of digital content creates opportunities for new forms of research and scholarship that are qualitatively different from those represented in traditional scholarly literature. To capitalize on these opportunities, digital content must routinely be collected, managed, and preserved in ways that are significantly more rigorous than conventional methods. A new form of infrastructure is required to ensure that digital content, including research products and primary sources, is readily available, accessible, and usable.

Discovery, Home
A large and expanding collection of texts and manuscripts from the Presocratics through Nietzsche to Wittgenstein plus a wealth of other material including essays and video lectures by leading thinkers.
What’s the purpose?
Making the stuff available for free on the Internet in a reliable scholarly format is only a prelude to the real challenge, which is to explore how Semantic Web technology can help to create a state-of-the-art research and publishing environment for philosophy.

Public Knowledge Project |
The Public Knowledge Project is a research and development initiative directed toward improving the scholarly and public quality of academic research through the development of innovative online publishing and knowledge-sharing environments. Begun in 1998, PKP has developed Open Journal Systems and Open Conference Systems, free software for the management, publishing, and indexing of journals and conferences, as well as Open Archives Harvester and Lemon8-XML to facilitate the indexing of research and scholarship. This open source software is being used around the world to increase access to knowledge and improve its scholarly management, while considerably reducing publishing costs. See Software & Services for demos, downloads, and information about these systems.
Located at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and Stanford University, PKP also sustains an active research program on the impact of increased access to knowledge, with the resulting publications,dating back to 1998, available from this site.
