Scholarly Communication is located on the fourth floor of Carol M. Newman Library at Virginia Tech. Scholarly Communication is a dynamic landscape, and we are continually evolving. Many scholarly communications activities have spun-off into their own departments, such as VT Publishing and Digital Imaging and Preservation Services, and Digital Library Development. Our focus is on supporting the creation and dissemination of scholarship.

There are many responses teachers give to this question They may range from “because my students discuss many issues in the design process” to “I make sure they engage in social and environmental perspectives.”. The problem with such responses is that what is holistic is not grounded in some universal reason or coherent schema of dependent relations. Holistic education in technology enables transfer of understanding to novel lifelong encounters, a quality lacking in much of how-to training in technology particulars
