Improving Art History Education: Library and Faculty Partnerships in Instructional Technology Development

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Improving Art History Education: Library and Faculty Partnerships in Instructional Technology Development (ID: CSD3006)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:This article discusses the provenance of a partnership between the Digital Projects Department (DPD) at Northern Illinois University (NIU) Libraries and NIU's Art History Department that seeks to improve art education at NIU. Academic librarians and other library personnel have unique skills, which along with providing traditional library services, should be utilized to meet instructional and educational challenges. Since DPD has a history of providing access to multimedia content via the Internet, it seemed natural to partner with the art history department to create a tool for accessing slides of artwork via the Web.
