- Crisis, Tragedy, and Recovery Network Digital Library (CTRnet)Chitturi, Kiran; Fox, Edward A. (2013-01-10)This presentation outlines the goals of the Crisis, Tragedy and Recovery Network (CTRnet) project. These goals include researching the problems of integrating content, community, services related to crisis, tragedies, and recovery; integrating heterogeneous information in a specific domain, making it accessible, and preserving it for long-term reuse; extending the scope of digital libraries so they are closely but flexibly coupled with a wide variety of services to support diverse emerging communities; and supporting information exploration with advanced methods (Stepping Stones and Pathways (SSP), PathRank, and Storytelling) that facilitate searching, browsing, and discovery.

- Curriculum Development for Digital LibrariesPomerantz, Jeffrey P.; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Oh, Sanghee; Fox, Edward A.; Yang, Seungwon (2006)The Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science (VT CS) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (UNC SILS) have launched a digital library curriculum development project. This presentation outlines the educational resources that will be developed based on the 2001 ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curriculum. Lesson plans and modules will be developed, evaluated by subject specialists, and then pilot tested in computer science (CS) and library and information science (LIS) courses. An analysis of papers on digital library-related topics from several corpora was performed to identify the work that has been performed on these topics; this analysis will guide the initial stages of this curriculum development.
- 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.

(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.
- Digital Library Curriculum Development: Enhancing Education and Comprehension of NDLTDFox, Edward A.; Yang, Seungwon; Wildemuth, Barbara M.; Pomerantz, Jeffrey P. (2006)This slideshow describes the Digital Library 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.
- Emergency Informatics and Digital Libraries: Workshop for JCDL 2012Yang, Seungwon; Fox, Edward A. (2012-06-01)There is growing global awareness of the need for information in connection with emergencies, crises, tragedies, disasters, and related recovery activities. Yet, there is little integration of the diverse types of related information, minimal connection with the digital library community, and almost no awareness of the need for related digital library research and development. This workshop will bring together key stakeholders from the many agencies and organizations in the area, as well as researchers with interdisciplinary perspectives, to explore these opportunities with those in the DL community who are interested. This will build upon work on the NSF-funded Crisis, Tragedy, and Recovery Network (www.ctrnet.net) DL project, and its collaboration with the Internet Archive, to identify, capture, preserve, and make accessible information about worldwide natural and manmade disasters as they occur. The CTRnet team will help with accomplishing the objectives listed below, ensuring a permanent record of findings and information shared during or after the meeting.
- Enforcing Interoperability with the Open Archives Initiative Repository ExplorerSuleman, Hussein (2001-06-24)This presentation gives an overview of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), protocol validation procedures, interactive browsing, and the OAI repository explorer tool.
- 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.
- Extending Interoperability of Digital Libraries: Building on the Open Archives InitiativeACM Conference on Digital Libraries (2000-06-03)This document describes the proceedings of the 2000 ACM DL OAI Workshop. Workshop topics include technical issues, Virginia Tech's report on open archives work, and highlights of the Santa Fe Convention.
- 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.
