Ithaka, one of the groups represented at today's Assembly, recently partnered with ARL on an important new report about current models of digital scholarship in universities.

• Purely digital publications are often directed at niche audiences.
• Web 2.0 technologies have blurred lines between resource types (for example, a blog is or could be a type of journal)
• Traditional norms maintain power even as scholars innovate.
