At the beginning of every session, please have a brief conversation about whether or not individual speakers want to be identified and associated with their comments. If desired, designate a notetaker (or ask everyone to contribute to notes). These notes can be excellent resources for attendees looking for references, links, etc., as well as for those who couldn’t make but would like to follow along with the sessions.

We will create files for every session in this folder.

Having trouble with the shared notes folder? Track down Sarah Potvin (@sp_meta) for troubleshooting help.

What sort of structures are needed to support collaborative work? After two years working in digital libraries, and since attending Lynne Siemen’s Issues in Large Project Planning and Management mini-course at UCLA, I’ve been thinking about how collaborative work is delineated, assigned, and, really, managed. Of course, the twin issue is: how is credit assigned and given, and what authorship issues arise in collaborative work? In this session, I’d like to talk about how collaboration raises the need for new models of authorship.

If possible, maybe we could look at examples of authorship agreements among groups, talks about some potential disciplinary tendencies and differences, and examine taxonomies of digital scholarship and roles. Are best practices out there?
