Thanks, Lisa! And thanks a lot for the link: I’ll definitely crib from that.

And, similarly to what I said to Marta above: d’oh. Of course, tools. Zotero etc. Yes. It’s funny that I omitted these, and collaboration. Got caught up in the what’s-behind-it-all.

In reply to Marta. *facepalm* Collaboration. Of course! Thank you.

What a fabulous workshop/primer! I like the way you lay out what digital scholarship is and why it is significant. If you have time (always a challenge), you may also want to expose students to research management tools such as Zotero, RSS feeds, and information visualization. If you like, feel free to borrow from slides that I prepared for a workshop on digital research methods in history: http://scholarship.rice.edu/handle/1911/27209 In discussing peer review and knowledge dissemination, you may want to refer participants to Kathleen Fitzpatrick’s “Planned Obsolescence.”

Good luck with the workshops!

You had mentioned that you wanted me to remind you of collaboration when you started drafting this. I was reminded about the collaborative utility of google docs by this: http://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/Collaborative+Authoring page (although someone should tell the authors that etherpad is deeeefunct)

I don’t remember if that was the only thing you wanted reminding about.
