| description: |
Digital Libraries (DLs) encompass more than traditional information
retrieval or database methods and techniques. DLs are used as a general
term to cover all forms of web sites with rich services that target
a core community. "Community" is the key word -- DLs exist to serve
a particular interest or function, and their operation can only be
fully understood in this context. We will cover a brief history of DL
development, techniques, protocols, tools and approaches. Case studies
will be performed on various DLs. The class will focus heavily on project
work, especially developing a digital library with a suite of common
tools and emerging standards. At the end of the course, students will
be prepared to develop, evaluate, or apply digital library technologies
in their work or research environment.
