A monthly round-up of news, upcoming
working group meetings and events, and
CLIR program updates from the
Digital Library Federation.
This month’s news:
This month’s DLF group events:
DLF Digital Library Pedagogy Group - #DLFteach Twitter Chat: Teaching Digital Exhibits
Thursday, April 21, 2 pm ET/11 am PT;
please direct questions to the
#DLFteach Twitter chat coordinator
Digital exhibits are a great learning tool to give students a hands-on experience with primary sources without having to be in an archive, which has been revisited during work-from-home and remote learning.
They also help students address technical competencies and digital/information literacies. This discussion will center around the tools, pedagogies, collaborations, and directions for teaching with digital exhibits.
Questions will be tweeted from the
@CLIRDLF handle. Join in and follow by tweeting with and looking at the
#DLFteach hashtag from your own account. All are welcome!
