Not Your Parents' Library Video, Deeann Allison

DeeAnn Allison

A video with Buffy, a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln shows her parents how to do research the "NU" way.

She also shows her parents how she saves time writing papers by finding articles using a new tool that searches across many databases at the same time and then connects to the full article, which she reads on her computer. She also demonstrates how …

The Why Of The Beholder: An Analysis Of The Use Of Art Image Databases By Art Historians, Rose Fortier

Rose Fortier

In the field of art history, there is a great potential for the use of art image databases.

It includes a survey of what databases are used, why they are used, and to what extent they are used by art history professors. Results indicate that many issues in the usability and design of currently available …
