Teaching digital library concepts using digital library applications
Many digital library topics may be taught using digital library applications, in the context of project-based digital library courses. Several digital library applications exist, and these applications are used as teaching tools to illustrate the ...
Digital library education: the current status
JCDL '06: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesIn this paper, we review and examine the current status of digital library education and compare the range of provision with that found in earlier studies [1, 2, 3]. It is found that the number of institutions offering programmes or courses in digital ...
