Seeing the Forest and the Trees: The Integrated Digital Scholarship Ecosystem (IDSE) Project of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)

摘要

Introduction "Knowledge infrastructures not only provide new maps to known territories-they reshape the geography itself."1 In 2014 the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), a national higher education organization representing 75 universities, conducted an extensive study of digital scholarship in Canada. Through surveys, interviews, focus groups, literature reviews and other methods involving a wide variety of stakeholders, the project provided insights into the health of the ecosystem and the opportunities for academic libraries to strengthen and enhance it. This study is Phase 1 of the Integrated Digital Scholarship Ecosystem (IDSE) Project and is being used to chart future directions and to seek integrative and collaborative opportunities for CRKN and its members.
