The purpose of this blog is to get students comfortable with blogging in general, and to develop a critical eye for online exhibitions.
For the blogging assignment, find an online exhibition and review it addressing four characteristics:
1) Selection decisions = how did they decide what to digitize [addressed in "Collection Principles" below];
2) What kind of metadata are they providing for each image, and for the collection as a whole [addressed in "Metadata" below]; and
3) tell as much as you can about the characteristics of the digital object ["Object Characteristics" below].
4) Finally, address an issue that will, for the most part, be guesswork, based on the three points above - who is the intended audience for this digitization project.
