DIGITAL LIBRARIANSHIP

The aim of the course (which is part of the characterizing and compulsory ones of the degree course in Archival and library science) is to provide students with the fundamental bases of bibliography and librarianship, before dedicating the main part of the course to the topic of the management and use of digital libraries and hypertexts

At the end of the course students will be able to utilize (as users) any digital library and to orient themselves (as librarians) in the main work activities of any contemporary library, especially if at least partially digital.

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

The subject of the course will be: the difference between bibliographies, library catalogs and collections of documents; the main types of bibliographies and online catalogs; the main tasks (management and access of collections, indexing, reference service, information literacy) and the main values (freedom and intellectual property, social responsibility, confidentiality, professionalism) of librarians; contents (e-books, e-journals, open archives, databases, hypertexts etc.), services (digitizalization, online reference, digital lending, digital preservation, etc.), evaluation and problems of digital libraries.

Italian

Lessons, meetings and seminars calendars, bibliography, teaching materials and news available at http://www.riccardoridi.it/unive/

To take part in the course students must register on the Ca 'Foscari e-learning platform (http://moodle.unive.it/ ).

The lessons are scheduled "in the virtual classroom" on certain days 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 at the beginning of the week 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 certain days of the week.
