THAT Camp was awesome and it was nice to meet all of you on Friday. I mentioned before the Dork Shorts that I am interested in putting together an informal affinity/hack group on Online Learning- with an emphasis on the informal. The goal would just be anyone who teaches online, supports online learning, or is just plain interested to share knowledge and get feedback across institutions. If you’re interested, please drop me a line and let me know.

Thanks,

Nothing special tech-wise, just a digital collection, but an amazing research resource. We are working on digitizing meeting minute books from public schools in New Orleans and Orleans Parish beginning circa 1840 and moving up through the early 20th century.

This is a work in progress. Right now we just have a few up that were indexed by the UNO History Department. Getting the indexing work into the metadata in a useful way has been a challenge, and I think we’re still not quite there. This combined with the way CONTENTdm handles large text/monograph style collections makes the collection a little difficult to navigate. In short, we’re working on it, but it’s up for you to use, and you can always contact the library for help or questions.
