Rice University Department of Computer Science presents Edward Fox Director: CITIDEL, DLRL, Internet TIC@VT, NDLTD Virginia Tech Digital Library Support for Education: Two Case Studies - CITIDEL and NDLTD Abstract Just as libraries have played a key role in support of education for thousands of years, so now digital libraries are assuming a more and more significant role in the support of teaching and learning. In this talk we briefly summarize the development of this idea over the last decade and then focus on two examples, one for computing education (the Computing and Information Technology Interactive Digital Educational Library) and one related to graduate education (the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations). The first of these should be of practical benefit and interest to faculty and students in Computer Science. Furthermore, in the main part of the talk, we discuss computer science research at Virginia Tech that relates to these applications, spanning the range from theory development to system construction to user studies. Wed., May 28, 2003 at 3:30 p.m. in DH 1049 Refreshments will be served. About Edward Fox Dr. Edward A. Fox holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from Cornell University, and a B.S. from M.I.T.
