-----------------------------------------
Academic Commons today released its December 2007 special issue =20
devoted to CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE & THE LIBERAL ARTS =20
(www.academiccommons.org/).
Edited by David L. Green (Principal at Knowledge Culture), the issue =20
is dedicated to the memory of Roy Rosenzweig (1950-2007), an =20
extraordinary historian who inspired a generation of fellow =20
historians and others working at the intersection of the humanities =20
and new technologies (http://thanksroy.org/).

Cyberinfrastructure offers the liberal arts new resources and new =20
ways of working - with revolutionary computing capabilities, massive =20
data resources and distributed human expertise. How will students, =20
scholars, teachers, librarians, museum professionals and others =20
connect, use and contribute to these new capabilities? Will humanists =20=

work collaboratively and produce new forms of scholarship "more =20
interesting than the book"? How will institutions change the way they =20=

do business in putting cyberinfrastructure to work?

This collection of essays, interviews and reviews captures the =20
perspectives of scholars, scientists, information technologists and =20
administrators on the challenges and opportunities =20
cyberinfrastructure presents for the liberal arts and liberal arts =20
colleges. What difference will cyberinfrastructure make and how =20
should we prepare?
