CLIR Report on Cyberinfrastructure for Classical
Studies
CLIR has just published a major (and, at 300 pages, massive)
study of cyberinfrastucture needs and developments in the area of
classical studies. I've reproduced the announcement below. I was
fortunate to be able to read a draft of this; it's really a landmark
study, and I wish that we had analysis of this depth and quality for
many other areas of scholarship.

A new CLIR report, Rome
Wasn't Digitized in a Day: Building a Cyberinfrastructure for Digital
Classics, examines the use of digital technologies in classical
studies, focusing on classical Greece, Rome, and the ancient Middle
and Near East. The report was written by Alison Babeu, digital
librarian and research coordinator for the Perseus Project. Babeu
explores recent projects in the digital classics and how these
projects are used. She also examines the infrastructure that supports
digital classics and investigates larger humanities
cyberinfrastructure projects and tools or services that might be
repurposed for the digital classics.
