August 1: Free Web Seminar on The Gutenberg-e Project

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on July 24, 2008

The Gutenberg-e project was created as a bold experiment to explore whether peer-reviewed, born-digital monographs would alter the way historical scholarship is presented, whether scholars would receive the same professional credit for these publications as they would from work published in print, and whether the project would enable the publication of monographs that would otherwise be turned down for financial reasons by university presses.

In this free August 1 EDUCAUSE Live! web seminar, The Gutenberg-e Project: Opportunities and Challenges in Publishing Born-Digital Monographs, presenter Kate Wittenberg, consultant, scholarly communication and e-publishing, Columbia University, will discuss the project’s findings and cover both the breakthroughs and obstacles encountered during the course of the project’s development.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Electronic Publishing and Scholarly Communication.
