Digital Commons As An Educational Tool, John Jesperesen

Kresten Jespersen

This paper explores the educational use of an Institutional Repository at Rhode Island College. The focus is on selected units of our College's Digital Commons and the students who have helped to make it a reality. The Chet Smolski Collection, comprising an Image Gallery and a table for Op-Ed texts, is joined by relational portals that are not yet operative but approaching partial functionality.

The Problems Of Subject Access To Visual Materials, John Jespersen, Heather Jespersen Sep 2010

Kresten Jespersen

This article discussed the problem of giving subject access to works of art.
