Week 11 readings

This weeks readings are pretty much the same in content so I'm just going to converge them together. This weeks readings were about the Digital libraries. The articles described the government projects in recent history with grants for funding research online with things like Google. They were able to digitize the collections. I think that digital libraries are important to the future of libraries.The biggest problem that I see with digital libraries is that most libraries and librarians do not have the training or the technology to handle digital libraries.

Week 9 Readings

Intro. XML- This piece describes XML as a way to pass information in whole or part to other servers. It says that i is not HTML tags to markup documents or a standardized template for producing particular types of documents. I'm still confused about the difference between HTML and XML but I'm computer illiterate. The other article describe XML to its advantages like the difference between XML 1.0 and XML 1.1. I liked that article because it had tutorials and instructions. The others were like dictionaries that described each word that had to do with XML. They were long and didn't keep my interest for long.

Week 8 muddiest point

What do you mean the disadvatage to HTML is that it doesn't tightly control the layout?
