Peer mentors, recent graduates of the program, lead small group discussions. While geared toward first-year students, the passport model could be easily adapted to a variety of technological platforms and communities or added onto an existing first-year seminar. By encouraging students to identify, early on, not only as members of the campus community but also the broader local community, it could also set up a bookended senior capstone that would engage students more directly in community engagement that complements their disciplinary interests and career goals.

This paper reflects the consensus reached by the sixty faculty, librarians, and administrators attending that there are significant shared requirements necessary to foster thriving Digital Humanities communities, and a common belief in the importance of interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and open access and open source models. Through collaborative and cooperative relationships, from individuals to institutions, many of these needs can be realized. Background: An initial CIC Digital Humanities Environmental Scan suggests that approximately 200 CIC humanities faculty are involved in the digital humanities, leveraging technology methodologically as they pursue their innovative and increasingly collaborative scholarship. Across the CIC, projects are wide-ranging and diverse endeavors including (but not limited to) the creation of open source tools; the development of freely available online research collections across disciplines; the integration of geographic information systems (GIS) to create develop geo-spatial and temporal visualizations of our cultural history; and building large scale digital libraries focused on topic or era, in addition to larger initiatives with emphasis on new media, virtual environments, and gaming, to name a few.

Between July 15th, 2011 and July 17th, 71 authors, 8 invited and the rest voluntary members of the community, collaborated over Twitter, tweeting a "novel" 140 characters at a time. Dubbed "Novel Iowa City," the project was displayed to the public during the Iowa City Book Festival attended by thousands. This paper presents a qualitative analysis of the product of this process, reflecting on the challenges community-based authorship imposes on the writing of fiction and suggests best practices for future collaborative fiction projects.
