Points for Discussion

• For most faculty (non-research schools; contingent), DH exacerbates local resource & isolation problems.

• Institution-based models of collaboration are 20thC, even if they are new to humanists.

• Social networks’ “loose conversational contexts” (danah boyd) provide lightweight models for collaboration.
