Recent years have seen a blossoming of innovation by digital humanists. In a new report from CLIR and DLF titled "A Kaleidoscope of Digital American Literature," author Martha Brogan describes achievements in digital American literature and explores priorities and concerns of digital practitioners in the field. Written with the help of Daphnée Rentfrow, the publication is based on a preliminary report prepared for The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2004. The bulk of the 176-page report consists of an extensive overview of selected Web-based resources in six categories: quality-controlled subject gateways, author studies, e-book collections and alternative publishing models, reference resources and full-text primary-source collections, ³collections by design,² and teaching applications. CLIR E-Bulletin 21 A pdf version of the report is available at http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub132abst.html
