The Digital Scholar: How Technology Is Transforming Scholarly Practice Martin Weller While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.

The result was a series of excellent websites, far better engagement by the students, better results than the year before and completion by the whole class of the employability module.

Ithaka S+R, Jisc, RLUK "In 2012, Ithaka S+R partnered with Jisc and Research Libraries UK (RLUK) to  survey academics in the UK higher education sector in order to learn about their  attitudes and practices related to research, teaching, and communicating.  In addition to the findings reported here, this project will provide a national  dataset that can be analyzed by discipline, institution type, and other  demographic characteristics, compared with findings from a parallel USbased project, and tracked for changes over time."
