Giving Literature Virtual Life - 1 views

  •  
    Great article on some digital humanities projects and how they relate to undergraduate teaching. Many of the projects involve digital archives, libraries or databases. I think this is the kind of work future academic libraries can help facilitate
  •  
    Not sure why it isn't registering that I viewed this... Fascinating article- wish I could share via FB since only classmates see this and I think my teacher friends would find this interesting as well. Just another way diigo limits its usefulness. Great find though!

    I cite this article on one of my pages. I am also trying to upload it (to doc sharing?) as a pdf because people say that these articles are behind the new pay wall.
  •  
    You can upload it to your google site page too. In the editing view, tere's a file uploaded at the bottom of each page
  •  
    I have uploaded other pdf documents at the bottom of one of my pages, but not the Times articles because I thought they would be accessible through the link. However, I don't know whether people notice docs at the bottom of the Google page even though I say "attached below" in the citation. The Times articles are now on ecollege in doc sharing and attached to my discussion reply. I hope that the Economist doesn't block users.

    I recently also uploaded the Times articles as PDFs to my second page.

Libraries and Transliteracy - 0 views

  •  
    A group effort sharing information about all literacies (digital literacy, media literacy, information literacy, visual literacy, 21st century literacies, transliteracies ) with special focus on all libraries.
  •  
    Just realized this is missing "geospatial literacy" which is one of the areas I am interested in, but this looks like a great site. Similar to what we are doing on the topic of social informatics via diigo.
  •  
    I like that there is so much interest in Transliteracy! We have to include Henry Jenkin's blog as well: http://www.henryjenkins.org/

Not-So-Extreme Makeover - As school libraries shift their reference materials from prin... - 0 views

  •  
    This strikes me as an incredibly uncritical and self serving article. Maybe this is just because every time one "moves" to the next page a Dell ad pops up. With the decrease of school funding and the increase of connection costs and databases, I would hate to have to rely on only online resources.
