- Designing, Developing and Evaluating an Interdisciplinary Digital Library CurriculumPomerantz, Jeffrey P. (2008)This presentation describes the development and evaluation process for curriculum materials designed for digital library courses in LIS and CS programs.
- Digital Library Curriculum Development Progress reportFox, Edward A.; Yang, Seungwon; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P. (2006-08-11)This presentation provides an update on the Digital Library Curriculum Development project, specifically its development and evaluation plan, project timeline, and emerging objectives.
- Digital Library Curriculum Development Project OverviewFox, Edward A.; Yang, Seungwon; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Oh, Sanghee (2006)This presentation provides an update on the Digital Library Curriculum Development project. It describes the project's development and evaluation plan, timeline, and objectives.
- Evaluation of a Curriculum for Digital LibrariesPomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Oh, Sanghee; Yang, Seungwon; Fox, Edward A. (2008)This poster discusses the purpose and mission of the Digital Libraries Curriculum Development project. The project aims to evaluate digital library curricula, develop course instruction modules for digital library programs, provide expert-led course evaluations, and organize field evaluations by instructors and students.
- Further Development of a Digital Library Curriculum: Evaluation Approaches and New ToolsYang, Seungwon; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Kim, Seonho; Murthy, Uma; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Oh, Sanghee; Fox, Edward A. (2007)This presentation is a follow-up to our ICADL 2006 paper and discusses our progress over the past year in developing a digital library curriculum. It presents and describes the current curriculum framework, which now includes ten modules and 41 sub-modules. It provides an overview of the curriculum development lifecycle, and our progress through that lifecycle. In particular, it reports on our evaluation of the modules that have been drafted. It concludes with a description of two new technologies: Superimposed Information (SI) to help resource presentation in a module and Visual User model Data Mining (VUDM) to help long-term module upgrade by visualizing the user community and its trends.
- I-Schools as a Natural Home for Digital Libraries EducationWildemuth, Barbara M.; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Oh, Sanghee; Yang, Seungwon; Fox, Edward A. (2009-01-19)Given that digital libraries (DLs) bring together technology, information, and people who use information, it can easily be argued that i-schools should play a central role in educating DL professionals. This study examines the existing roles that i-schools play in DL education from two different vantage points: their offering of DL courses and their participation in a DL curriculum development project. In addition, we explore the potential to expand the iSchools Caucus by recruiting those schools that a reactive in DL education efforts (i.e., those that offer courses or participate in curriculum development) but are not yet members of the Caucus. DL courses in the i-schools were further analyzed, in terms of the topics covered, the textbooks used, and the types of assignments used. This analysis was based on the seven course syllabi available on the open Web.
- Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development for Digital Library EducationYang, Seungwon; Oh, Sanghee; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Fox, Edward A. (2006-11-01)This presentation, which was given at ICADL 2006 in Kyoto, Japan, provides an overview of the activities of the Digital Libraries Curriculum Development project, a collaborative effort between faculty and students from Virginia Tech's Department of Computer Science and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Library and Information Science. This presentation addresses the development of a digital library curriculum that incorporates content from various disciplines and covers the challenges of organizing digital library topics into logical groupings, preparing educational resources, and dealing with copyright. The presentation also covers the 5S framework, course module and syllabus development, international collaboration, and the outline of a digital library development textbook.
- Preliminary Results from Field Testing of DL Curriculum ModulesWildemuth, Barbara M.; Fox, Edward A. (2008)This slideshow describes the development and evaluation process for digital library curriculum modules, as well as an overview of field testing methods and results.
- The Variety of Ways in Which Instructors Implement a Modular Digital Library CurriculumWildemuth, Barbara M.; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Oh, Sanghee; Yang, Seungwon; Fox, Edward A. (2009-05-14)This poster illustrates how information professionals can implement a modular digital library curriculum. It discusses instructors' perspectives on digital library syllabi, assignments, readings, and overall course content. This project builds upon a collaboration between Virginia Tech and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, funded by the National Science Foundation through grants NSF IIS-0535057 (to Virginia Tech) and IIS-0535060 (to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
