This seminar will address research and development issues
in digital libraries, including: collection development and digitization; mixed
mode holdings; access strategies and interfaces; metadata and interoperability;
economic and social policies such as intellectual property and equity;
technologically enabled, global communities; and management and evaluation.
Students will read and discuss documents (paper and electronic), critique a
variety of DLs, evaluate a DL of their choice, and produce a term project or
paper.
No textbook is required. Readings will be on reserve in the SILS
Library or online, additional readings will be assigned as the semester
progresses.
Readings and class
participation (25%), Reviews of DLs (25%), term project (50%)
There is an updatable list of DLs and resources in this directory in the file named DLs_and_resources.html. You can edit this file.
