Stuart/ You may be interested in various activities that I've profiled in my _Scholarship 2,0_ blog: Scholarship 2.0 is devoted to describing and documenting the forms, facets, and features of alternative Web-based scholarly publishing philosophies and practices. The variety of old and new metrics available for assessing the impact, significance, and value of Web-based scholarship is of particular interest.

We talk about lots of vexing issues with respect to old and new or emerging reward structures, the economics of publishing, etc. Most of the members are library-centric scholars, or actual librarians. I find myself tasked with drafting the section on promotion and review considerations. In particular, I have been asked to show some examples where universities, schools, colleges or specific departments have found new types of scholarly artifacts worthy of recognition. If you know of an example where the traditional consideration of books and articles in top tier journals is being augmented with other types of uniquely digital contributions, please let me know directly. I will share the results of this survey with the list when it is complete. Many thanks, ~Stu -- Dr. Stuart W.
