I do not have any muddiest questions for this week.

Muddiest Point

I have no muddiest points for this week.

Muddiest Point (11/16/09)

Before we leave the class, I would like some information about some skills we should develop if we are interested in working with digital libraries once we finish this program.  For example, what programming languages might we learn?  Are there currently any DL projects in the area that we can volunteer to help with?  What other skills might be useful to us as we enter the field?

I am particularly interested in any oppotunities there may be for someone in the medical librarianship track.

Muddiest Questions (Interaction and Evaluation)

No Muddiest Questions this week.

Muddest Point (10/16)

This is not exactly a request for clarification but positive feedback instead.  I enjoyed the XML Hand on Points and assignment.  I appreciated the opportunities to practice writing XML and DTDs.  I thought they were very useful and practical activities.  I look forward to completing more of these practical HOPs and skill development exercises in the future.

Muddiest Point (10/16/09)

Will there be a Penapto recording for this class?  I was unable to attend class due to illness.  I would like to view it online.

Muddiest Point (10/28/09)

Are we supposed to submit our muddiest point and reading notes via email as well as through the blog?

Muddiest Point (9/21/09 and Syllabus)

Would you like us to email you our readings notes / muddiest point and post them in our blogs or submit them via blogs alone?

Also, on 9/21 you stated that digitization is no longer considered a means for preservation because digital objects are actually more fragile than physical ones.  Does this have to do with the impermanence of URLS and changing technology, or is it something else?  Can you explain?

Muddiest Point (9/14/09)

My question concerns our final project.   How will copyright affect our digital library collections?   Can we use media (text, images, video) produced by others if we give them credit for their work? 

Muddiest Point (8/31/09)

This is more of a request for more information than clarification:

I had a chance to look at the "Visualize the Collections" or "Bungee View" prototype for the Historic  Pittsburgh Image Collections website.   Are there any other visualization tools like this one that we can look at on the web?

Which aspects of Bungee Viewer are representative of emerging technology? Is it in the components or the way the capabilities are bundled into one package?
