LIS 503 \_Cultural Heritage Field Study
This course is a focused practical experience combined with a related classroom component that addresses and experiments with the digital convergence of cultural heritage information. Using a case study approach, students will work in small teams (normally no more than three students) on projects identified by the cultural heritage site and pre-approved by the instructor. The practicum will include site visits as well as experimentation and problem solving in the Digital Curriculum Laboratory located at GSLIS. The classroom component applies the theoretical framework for cultural heritage convergence introduced in the "Concepts" course and offers students opportunities to share and discuss their projects within the framework. The instructor will work individually with each team throughout the project. Prerequisite: LIS 432 or LIS 446 or permission of instructor.
