Abstract:How can we provide access to several hundred songs to 1,300 students who enroll annually in the History of Rock course? This was the initial question to be answered by the University of Tennessee (UT). The answer ended up to be two workable models and accompanying collaborative spaces for production and creation of digital media content for the campus--the Digital Media Service and the Studio. Formulating the answer required close partnerships between the library, the Office of Information Technology, and faculty from across the campus.

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.
