Recent changes in digital technology have radically transformed the landscape of communication and information. Scholars, researchers, professors and students examine and interrogate the world around them through research within or across disciplines, draw on a variety of texts – often multimodal ones – and use the methods of their discipline to create new knowledge. 

Just as the Internet and social networking have transformed communication in our everyday lives, so are they are beginning to expand and transform disciplinary and cross-disciplinary methods of research and scholarship. Large data sets, mapping, data visualization, encoding, analysis, and recontextualizion online are all emerging scholarly trends. In addition to addressing new questions or new methods, products of digital scholarship often include new pathways for access, and engage new audiences. 

Please join us at University of Pennsylvania's state of the art Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts--a vibrant space designed to bring together people, technology, and unique content. Learn about current work in digital scholarship and participate in activities and discussions that will advance your understanding.
