Posted May 28th, 2007 by NMC
The NMC has undertaken for the first time a concerted, international effort to describe a research agenda and call to scholarship based on the six practices and technologies featured in the 2007 edition of the Horizon Report. The community was invited to participate in this process, contribute to the discussion, and help shape directions for future research in these topics across higher education.

New Media! New Scholarship? Stories Yet to be Told, Seen, Heard and Experienced
Posted November 10th, 2006 by NMC
The long-honored traditional path of scholarship goes something like this: ask a question - do the research - see a pattern - summarize the evidence - tell a new story or add an original ending to a familiar one. Anyone with a doctorate degree has been well-trained in the variations, and the pathway is well-worn and clear.
Digital Scriptorium
The Digital Scriptorium is prototype image database and visual union catalog of medieval and renaissance manuscripts. The project was started in 1996 by the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley, and Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The model was to be from a scholar’s point of view interactive and expandable. Today it holds over 8,000 color images collected by a collaboration of institutions including University of California Berkeley and Columbia University affiliated libraries, as well as the Union Theological Seminary in New York, and the De Bellis Collection in California.
