NCCU Conference on Digital Libraries

On Friday, May 4th I attended a one day conference at North Carolina Central University on Digital Libraries. The morning sessions included two presentations on the digital divide and included a discussion on the differences between technical factors (lack of availability, connectivity, expertise) and social factors (lack of community focus, lack of training, difference in use vs intended use). The afternoon focused on a presentation by NCCU students on a digital library course and their experience in creating a digital library using ContentDM in addition to other current projects. Carter Cue from WSSU talked about the Digital Forsyth project!
