A Cyberinfrastructure for Research
and Learning in a Digital Culture
Researchers today require environments in which capabilities of the highest level of computing tools
are available in an interoperable network. More than just bigger and faster hardware and software,
researchers need access to resources, expertise, and support. A cyberinfrastructure allows scholars
to focus their intellectual and scholarly energies on the issues that engage them, and to be effective
users of new media and new technologies, rather than having to invent them.
The infrastructure of scholarship was built over centuries. It includes diverse collections of
primary sources in libraries, archives, and museums the bibliographies, searching aids, citation
systems, and concordances that make that information retrievable the standards that are
embodied in cataloging and classification systems the journals and university presses that
distribute the information and the editors, librarians, archivists, and curators who link the
operation of this structure to the scholars who use it. All of these elements have extensions or
analogues in cyberinfrastructure, at least in the cyberinfrastructure that is required for
humanities and social sciences. (Our Cultural Commonwealth)
The BU libraries are engaged in building collections, technologies and services to enable and
support digital scholarship. As members of the Open Content Alliance the Libraries continue to
digitize major portions of its print collection. Boston University’s Digital Common serves as a primary
site for collecting and disseminating the intellectual output of the University.
