Educational Mission

• To help undergraduate students gain insight into the ways in which anthropologists conduct research and draw conclusions

• To improve information literacy of undergraduate anthropology students through use of structured yet unfiltered digital resources

E-Publishing Mission

• To develop a digital library infrastructure that will store digital resources so that they can be used in flexible ways

• To catalogue digital assets embedded within complex learning tools so that they can be used for broader research and/or teaching goals

Case 1:The Ethnographic Imagination

• Modules present digitized selections from ethnographer’s field notes, published work, video interview

• Students interpret a village census; explore stages of observation; compare ethnographers’ conclusions

• Assignments include writing about path from field data to ethnography

• Focus is on increasing students’ grasp of how anthropological knowledge is created

Wittenberg/Millman—2005 April—#5

Case 2: Intro to South Asian Culture

• Online syllabus that links to catalogued digital assets (primary texts, maps, photos, video)

• Teacher builds class assignments around these assets (response to specific questions, essays on readings, and full research paper)

• Increasing levels of interaction with library materials throughout the semester

Digital Teaching Tools and Research Library Resources

• Focus on the relationship between the “closed” world of the classroom and teaching tools, and the “open” world of the Web

• Can students explore freely the vast array of research tools available through the Web, while still having an appropriate level of guidance concerning how to select and evaluate the sources that they find?

Unlimited Information as Benefit or Obstacle to Learning

• How do we make information meaningful to users with diverse skills and needs?

• Future work will explore how to find the right balance between directed and unfiltered presentation of digital teaching and research materials in electronic publications

Technology

• Accommodate different styles for teaching – fall ’04 (South Asian History & Culture): web browser

focus (syllabus navigation)– spring ’05 (Ethnographic Imagination): digital resource

focus (primary source navigation)– fall ’05 (planning): considering mobile device in DL

discovery & retrieval

• Web services import/export• Access management• Metadata: “versions” revisited

Access Management

• bi-lateral Shibboleth “federation” with LSE

• technology ok, though evolving

• federation scalability challenges– process documentation– policy– legal

Page 19: Integrating Libraries and Electronic Publishing

Mobile

• front-end assumptions

• back-end assumptions

Page 20: Integrating Libraries and Electronic Publishing

Wittenberg/Millman—2005 April—#20

Versions

• Lots of metadata moving around

• Identifiers back in the forefront?

• Evolution of OAI-PMH ?

Next Steps

• Export to local course management system (pilot Sakai-based)

• Experiment with non-html tools for content viewing / navigation

• Wider discussion of versioning issues
