Uncovering Hidden Treasures: Public Domain Resources
Date: Friday March 6, 2009 11 a.m.
Location: 408 Gumberg Library
Presenters: Matthew Boyer (music), Leslie Lewis (images and videos), Sydney Walden (religious studies and philosophy), and Robert Behary (classics)
Description:
The number of public domain resources, made available by libraries, universities, and individuals, is growing exponentially. Ready access to these materials is a boon for scholars, teachers, and students; however, this flood of materials makes it difficult to find the best sources and keep abreast of newly released collections and sites. In this 90 minute workshop, participants will learn how to determine when content is available in the public domain, with special emphasis on music, images, videos, and philosophy, theology, and classics texts. Problems with reliability and age of editions will be examined through selected examples. Finally, participants will learn how to capture/download files for use in Microsoft Office applications, such as Word or PowerPoint.
No registration is necessary. The PowerPoint and handouts will be posted to our First Fridays Archive site at http://www.sites.duq.edu/library/about/aboutFirstFridaysArchive.shtml
This session will not be recorded, but may be repeated on another date if there is sufficient interest.
