The document discusses challenges and opportunities of digital scholarship in the digital age. It provides an overview of the evolving academic research cycle and various digital tools that can be used at different stages of research, including social networking, bookmarking, blogging, collaboration tools, and project management tools. It also discusses the concepts of digital literacy and digital scholarship, which involve the ability to participate in emerging academic practices that depend on digital systems and technologies. The document outlines three workshop topics for discussion around how digital communication can help or hinder scholarly activity, how digital approaches can impact other areas like teaching and administration, and new skills needed by digitally literate researchers.
