I tried to post this onto the conference page, but it kept rejecting me. In any case, here are two questions I’d love to hear discussed at some point:

1. If we assume that categories like author, genre, or period are simply conventions used for organizing information, how will these new tools force a rethinking of these terms? Are there any signs this is already happening?

2. What possibilities for collaboration and/or pedagogy do these new tools make possible?

Enjoy your conference. This is one of these moments when I really do wish I was back in NYC. DM

this topic. Also, the NYTimes has an interesting column on electronic vs. paper reading. These items can be found on our bibliography or in the comments to the bibliography.

Sounds like an interesting conference!
