*HASTAC 2011: Digital Scholarly Communication* What will a dissertation or monograph look like (or sound like) in 20 years? With new forms of digital scholarship evolving, how can credit be given for projects that are non-traditional? How will university presses and libraries publish and archive new and evolving forms of scholarship? The creation and sharing of new academic knowledge in the 21st century is pushing the boundaries of traditional systems of scholarship. Our question to a diverse audience from both within and beyond the academy is: What next? How do we adapt our systems, practices, and institutions to the creation, display, communication, presentation, dissemination, and organization of 21st century digital scholarship? Librarians, PhD students, junior scholars, faculty up for tenure, archivists, Masters students, multimedia artists, publishers, school teachers, technology designers, innovators, digital humanists at any stage in their careers -- all have a stake in how we re-imagine digital scholarly communication.
