Course Example
 LIBR 256 - Archives &
Manuscripts
 The instructor, in lieu of “live”
docs, has produced a virtual
collection of digital surrogates
 Students must appraise,
arrange, describe as if both
paper and electronic records are
extant
 Although the use of Web 2.0
tools is very limited, students
are encouraged to utilize
whatever needed within their
groups to help accomplish their
processing projects
 Past tools have been: wikis, a
blog to track work and post
versions of docs, Google Docs.
