Depending on one’s role as scholar, editor, publisher, librarian, or reader, the digital might refer to open access, open (or closed) peer review, the publication of digital media objects-as-scholarship and digital humanities projects, and the role of tenure and promotion within this rapidly changing landscape. Speakers represent publishers who have broken new ground in these areas.
