Subject: New Report: Digitization and On-Line Teaching
>> From: Stuart Lee <stuart.lee@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk>
Many of you may be aware of the project based at the University of Oxford
to develop on-line tutorials for teaching literature and a multimedia
digital archive (all based around the poetry of the First World War). The
project was funded by the UK's JISC Technologies Application Programme and
a full report is now available on the web, entitled:
'On-Line Tutorials and Digital Archives or "Digitising Wilfred"'
By Stuart Lee and Paul Groves of the University of Oxford.
This describes the work involved in generating online resources for
teaching, using the poetry of Wilfrid Owen the example. It covers many of
the issues involved; both technical (use of metadata, digitising images)
and the hard stuff (copyright etc.)
It has been described as an honest view of running a project, with no
punches pulled.

NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT

COLORADO DIGITIZATION PROJECT
<http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/>
An initiative well worth watching is The Colorado Digitization Project.
Funded by a recent IMLS Library and Services Technology Act Grant,
Colorado's
archives, historical societies, libraries, and museums are actively
collaborating to provide integrated access to the "unique and special
resources" held in and by Colorado institutions.
One of the early features of the project is an online Digital Toolbox
<http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/toolbox.html> to guide
administrators through the range of questions to ask in the initial planning
stages of a digital project, links to general information on digital
projects, information on the technical aspects of digitization, and
suggestions for funding sources.
