We
in the humanities and social sciences cannot depend on our colleagues in
computer science or engineering to build these tools for us . . . . [and] we cannot
depend on commercial interests to develop the software tools that we need. . .
. If
we’Äôre
going to realize the promise of the digital library, we’Äôre going to have to do it
for ourselves . . . and we’Äôre going to need support systems for that development
effort’Äîresearch centers that are national repositories of expertise, postdoctoral
programs
that emphasize digital scholarship, and graduate programs that train the rising
generation.
