Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Indigenous Cultures: From Observing to Experiencing, from Videography to 3D VR Immersion (ID: EDU07202)
Author(s):Ulrich Rauch (The University of British Columbia) and Linc Kesler (The University of British Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

A challenge arises in making digital information and communication technologies accessible to indigenous communities. From digital preservation of cultural and historic artifacts to embedding culturally sensitive materials in academic courses, technology can become a double-edged sword: it can be deployed to obfuscate a critical analysis of how "communication" is understood as meaningful by First Nations themselves.

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Beyond the Shelf: Providing Access to Historic Microfilmed Materials (ID: EDU04147)
Author(s):Mary Molinaro (University of Kentucky)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/22/2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:An IMLS-supported project is creating a fully searchable, digital, page-image archive of rare, historic Kentuckiana books using a microfilm-to-digital methodology. The presenter will discuss how microfilm ensures preservation and the digital images ensure easy access and wide distribution. This hybrid, standards-based, nonproprietary approach can serve as a model for cost-effective access and preservation of published materials.
