In the summer of 2003, at the invitation of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), a working group of fifteen higher education presidents, provosts, scholars, and digital resource innovators met at Dartmouth University to launch The Scholarly Communication Institute. Their eyes were on nothing less than how information technologies might beneficially transform the print era system of scholarly communication. Their concern was that although scholars have replaced their typewriters with word processors and often search Journal Storage (JSTOR) rather than library shelves for back issues of journals many humanists in particular still tend to produce and publish the same kinds of monographs and journal articles that they produced and published before digitization.
