Playing with CMaps

Concept maps may be a useful tool for us to map out some of the things we are working with. The tool I have used many times in the past can be found here and was developed by the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC). Here is a sample map:

dpBestflow.org

dpBestflow is a new site that is a cooperative venture between the Library of Congress and the American Society of Digital Photographers—just launched on Nov 11. It includes everything you want to know about digital photography—from the camera settings to the archival format choices etc. It was funded under LC’s National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program. Looks to be a really great resource.

The Library Of Congress’ Experience

The LOC’s Experience is the recent re-design/overhaul of the main building’s exhibits. It includes a number of technology innovations (digital wall, kiosk, large scale page turning and cross-referencing of key US documents, etc.) to enhance the experience of the LOC’s visitors. This project also includes a connection to an on-line experience to extend the visit beyond the time spent at the LOC. The on-line experience is known as myLOC.
