I can't find certain hyperlinks or materials on Course Web. Is there a possibilty of reavaluating some of these links as they may not be current? In particular, this weeks "article" by Sheiderman and Plaisant, as well as the Arms e-text which seems to migrate around the Cornell servers.
Are we suppose to be digitizing physical materials for our term project? Or is it strictly to be digital materials already to be placed into a database? I just want to make sure so that there isn't more work for the team than is already presented.
I'm a little confused on where we should be with the readings. This whole second labor day thing always throws me off. I assume we are going to discuss week 1 at our next class, so we are just heading into week 2 for this week?
I've been an on-again/ off-again LIS student for the past four years and am finally finishing out this fall and spring term of 2009. Woo, finally, especially after balancing grad school with a 11+ year career in book and cafe retail management.
I'm also the proud owner of an BA in Anthropology and Religion, however libraries have always been a love of mine since my undergraduate days doing work study and basically living in the stacks on the weekends, reading, reading, reading. I enjoyed a brief stint as a reference librarian's assistant in the Erie Public library system as well.
I am eying up a position in a seminary library, everywhere, anywhere, but I do find the digital progression of library materials to be fascinating and revolutionary, so my interests in this field often times cause me to run around like a kid in a field chasing butterflies. It's all intensely fascinating to me whether it be d-libraries, info. architecture, or Ambient Findability.
