Starting with a view of the problematic position of collaborative writing for humanities faculty, I argue that our classes should be taught to more appropriately value collaboration as a means of writing. I address concerns of plagiarism, source uncertainty, and indefinite publication status. Suggestions include joint authorship, hypertext citations/references, and metadata tags for source data.
