Abstract
Current practices of computer-mediated scholarship (CMS) are analyzed, and directions for establishing CMS systems are identified. Experiences with established, disciplinary-specific CMS systems show that systems-oriented approaches to building systems for scholarship can be successful in providing a comprehensive set of features to meet the needs of scholars. The use and potential for tools-oriented approaches to CMS show that computer-mediated communication forums and network information retrieval tools can provide many needs of scholars, including searching for sources, communicating with colleagues, analyzing source materials, disseminating research, and preparing instruction.Keywords
