And so commences my blog for LIS 2670, Digital Libraries, at Pitt. Welcome!
We were asked to submit our "muddiest points" from lectures and/or readings. Most of the first week's readings were pretty straightforward, although in the Dewey Meets Turing article, I wasn't entirely clear about how or whether the grant money for the natural sciences translated into adequate funding for the digital library initiative. I assume that the natural sciences grants were stretched to fund the DLI, but that makes me wonder about funding for digital libraries in disciplines that don't traditionally receive as much grant money.
I'll post again soon with reactions to this week's readings.
