Ed-Tech members,
Robin Bachin's project with the Richter Library will be presented on Thursday, March 16, at 6:00 PM. Our Digital Library has a number of incredible projects that have been developed here at UM. Go to http://digital.library.miami.edu and click on "Projects" on the right to look at the collection. If you do this, have a block of time available. These are extremely engrossing and you will want to explore each of them.
Some are classroom based activities, such as "Voices of Andrew," done with Gene Provenzo's students. Some are research based. Some, such as Robin's, are recipients of the 2004 Digital Library Fellowship. I encourage you to attend this reception and lecture to hear about Robin's project.
I have included the notice from e-Veritas below. A longer announcement of Thursday's event can be found at http://www.library.miami.edu/richternews/RobinBachin.html
