Dear Members of the DLF Tribe, The Digital Liberal Arts Exchange is a project that is trying to imagine a more collaborative and networked approach to sustaining digital scholarship efforts on campus. We're running a crowdsourcing site at http://bit.ly/dlax-ideas that offers the following challenge "Imagine a new, exchange-based approach to supporting digital scholarship that is deeply collaborative, allowing members of a network to share expertise, work together on projects, teach each other new methods, and share what we’ve learned with one another. Below you’ll find a set of ideas for what such an exchange might look like, and some of the challenges and opportunities we would face in launching such an exchange." Please take 15 minutes to read through the ideas within. Vote on them. Comment on them. Add your own thoughts. Our plan is to sift through this material as we construct our plan for launching our exchange. The people designing this exchange meet again in mid March, so we ask that you contribute before then. What would you like to gain from such an exchange? What might you be able to contribute? Which of the ideas below resonate with you? Which ones seem untenable or worse? What ideas do you have that aren’t yet under consideration? The exchange is intended to meet the needs and interests of the members of the exchange. Tell us what your needs and interests are!" I hope that this community can find time in the coming weeks to provide us with some input, feedback, and new ideas that can help us create an exchange that will serve us all well. Thanks for considering this.
