Whether they are involved in distance education or teach on traditional cam- puses, faculty are increasingly expected to be fluent not only in print culture but in digital culture, and to ensure that their students are fluent as well. This book provides opportunities for faculty to explore the nature of digital libraries and dig- ital library use in higher learning, A broad spectrum of competencies goes into the making of a digital scholar who is capable not only of using digital libraries effec- tively but of contributing to the scholarly online environment. The symbiotic re- lationship in which libraries serve the research needs of scholars and in which scholars write the publications that libraries acquire, manage, and provide access to makes a discussion of electronic scholarly communication crucial to our treat- ment of digital library culture. We offer models for faculty to integrate digital cul- ture into their professional lives, to collaborate in the development of digital libraries, to use online resources to enhance the learning experiences of their stu- dents, and to participate in online scholarly communities. Librarians who are seek- ing to build collaborative relationships with faculty and to promote information literacy and digital scholarship in their institutions will benefit from discussion of these topics, as will university and college administrators and those responsible for faculty development. Chapter One seeks a cultural understanding of the digital library. We look at the development of digital libraries, transformations in academic libraries, and cultural barriers to successful digital library use. In Chapter Two we discuss how information and communication technologies, and electronic publishing in particular, are transforming scholarly communica- tion, This brings many opportunities to disseminate ideas and to be creative with media, but there are issues pertaining to the acceptance of electronic publication in the promotion, tenure, and review process. Chapter Three provides suggestions for faculty to integrate digital libraries into their teaching and course development, so that students have contextual, seamless access to online library resources and services. promoting library use to their students and have an opportunity to model a rela- tionship with the digital library that students can be encouraged to emulate. In Chapter Four we describe approaches to promoting information literacy skills, and most importantly, integrating these skills across the curriculum.
