Theme: SCHOLARLY IMPACT AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Date: Monday, April 15, 2019
Location: Cone Ballroom, Elliot University Center, UNC Greensboro

The 2019 Scholarly Communication Symposium explored the ways that the impacts of digital scholarship are dependent on the infrastructure underlying such efforts. Without strong and persistent organizational and technical systems to under-gird them digital scholarship will be unsustainable and vanish.

This year UNC Greensboro partnered with the Educopia Institute to host the symposium as a joint event.  The 2019 symposium explored the ways that the impacts of digital scholarship are intertwined with and dependent on the infrastructure underlying such efforts.  Without strong and persistent organizational and technical systems to under-gird them, digital scholarship may become a flash in the pan.  National experts will speak to the issues of creating and sustaining infrastructure for research data management, digital humanities, and online publishing.

The symposium keynote speaker was Dr. David Eltis, renowned creator of the TransAtlantic Slave Trade Database.  The closing speaker was Dr. Amy Friedlander of the NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructure.
