I think this week’s readings have much to consider…. or at least I have several things swirling around in my head as I try to connect all the readings together into one general thought…..
The NINCH guide made me think about my own project for this course and how the best thought-through projects will at least [...]

Google books versus the Internet Archive

Well, with anything there are pros and cons for each of these sites. I chose to look up Gildersleeve’s Latin Grammar. I know, I’m a huge nerd. And is it sad that I enjoy how the Google Books version has the option in the right hand column to go locate the book [...]
Thoughts on copyright for my project

Can I just say that after doing the copyright reading for this week that I am THRILLED I will not have to deal with this for my project as I’m using images I myself took. I must confess that after dealing with copyright for work I vaguely thought of this as I was piecing [...]
Copyright

The readings for this week have made me wonder if the ever developing world of the internet will make sources more or less easily accessible given the hurdles of copyright permissions. On the one hand, the internet is such a fluid medium where items can be posted and unposted as quickly as the blink of [...]

Abstract:
My project idea stems from a paper I wrote a little more than a year ago on classical architecture in Washington DC architecture. I argued that architectural choices came from prevailing contemporary views on the United States and its place in the world. Too often, Americans think of these classically inspired buildings and memorials [...]

Bookless future

I for one do not anticipate the disappearance of physical books as being an imminent phenomenon. I think that the author of this article, David A. Bell, is positive in his outlook and I agree that there are certainly pluses to easier access of material online. Access itself is an obvious plus. [...]
