DIGITAL LIBRARIANSHIP

The aim of the course (which is part of the characterizing ones of the degree course in History and management of archival and bibliographic heritage) is to provide students with the knowledge of the main principles and values for the organization of digital information and documentation, with particular regard to World Wide Web and hypertextuality.

At the end of the course students will be able to design, use and evaluate the general information architecture of a website, a digital library or a hypertext in the most respectful and useful way with respect to the information needs of users and their intellectual freedom .

No particular prerequisites are necessary, if not the knowledge of the Italian language and a suitable cultural level for a humanistic university student.

The course will be about the fundamental values of the organization of information (accessibility, competence, neutrality, coherence, completeness, usefulness, contextualization, historicization, sustainability, cognitive saving, freedom and interoperability) and the main components of hypertextuality (granularity, multilinearity, interactivity, integrability and multimediality). Additional topics will be the main stages in the history of digital hypertexts, some conceptual and technological applications of hypertextuality (citation indexes, reference linking, relevance ranking, linked data, semantic web, social networks) and the hypertextual aspects of games, literature and libraries.

To take part in the course students must register on the Ca 'Foscari e-learning platform (http://moodle.unive.it/ ) using the password that they can ask teacher by sending an email to ridi@unive.it. Students who can not access the platform during this period can write to the teacher to agree on a different program for the exam.

The lessons are scheduled "in the virtual classroom" on Thuersday because each course must necessarily have a timetable, but this indication is purely administrative, because the lessons consist of a series of teaching materials (which are put online on Sunday evening or Monday morning and to which students can access at any time until the end of the course) and in a forum for discussion (constantly available from the beginning to the end of the course). So the course can also be followed by those who can not be online on Thuersday (or on other mornings or afternoons of the week).

Accessibility, Disability and Inclusion. Accommodation and support services for students with disabilities and students with specific learning impairments.
Ca’ Foscari abides by Italian Law (Law 17/1999; Law 170/2010) regarding support
services and accommodation available to students with disabilities. This includes students with
mobility, visual, hearing and other disabilities (Law 17/1999), and specific learning impairments (Law 170/2010). If you have a disability or impairment that requires accommodations (i.e., alternate testing, readers, note takers or interpreters) please contact the Disability and Accessibility Offices in Student Services: disabilita@unive.it.
