e 19941SAST CONFERENCE PAPERS Selected Papers from Technology, Scholarship, and the Humanities: The Implications of Electronic Information Irvine, California, 30 September-2 October 1992 The following papers were commissioned for a conference on the subject of ''Technology, Scholarship, and the Humanities: The Implications of Electronic Information," held in Irvine, California, in October 1992, which was organized by the Getty Art History Information Program and the American Council of Learned Societies. The conference was also cosponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information, the Council on Library Resources, and the Research Libraries Group. The conference participants were a diverse group including working scholars, librarians, technologists, leaders of national institutions, academic administrators, and leaders of learned societies. The participants received in advance five working papers designed to assist them in defining the issues in each of five areas of concern. The contributions of these distinguished authors represent some of the most mature and forward-looking thinking about key areas that bear on scholarly computing in the humanities. They also played a critical role in stimulating the deliberations that took place at the conference. The full texts of those papers are presented here, together with Vartan Gregorian's important keynote address. A summary of the conversations these papers inspired and the conclusions that arose therefrom have been published in a SummaryojProceedings of the conference.
