▪ Creating appropriate tools and services for collection-building
▪ Creating appropriate tools and services for the analysis and study
of collections
▪ Using digital collections and analytical tools to generate new
intellectual products
Adapted from : American Council of Learned Societies
. . .while it is reasonable to regard (d: Using digital collections and analytical
tools to generate new intellectual products ) as the core meaning and
ultimate objective of “digital scholarship,” it is also important to recognize
that in the early digital era, leadership may well consist of collection-building
or tool-building. In addition, tool-building is dependent on the existence of
collections, and both collections and tools get better and more general as
there is more use of digital information. If we hope to see new intellectual
products, we should give high priority to building tools and collections.
