TI alumni are invited to participate in the Exploratorium Digital
Asset Management Project (EDAM), funded by the Institute for Library
and Museum Services. For the last 2 years we have been collecting and
digitizing museum materials related to interactive exhibits and
scientific phenomena, including images, educational activities, and
other exhibit-related resources.
Over 2000 digital photographs, QuickTime movies, PDF and Word files
selected for educators are now available through a web-based
interface at:
<http://sagan.exploratorium.edu/Cumulus5/ed/>
Of special interest is the Paul Doherty collection of over 600
photographs of geology phenomena that he has taken over the years.
You will be able to search the database by keyword, display
thumbnails of the results, select the ones you want to use, put them
into a collection basket and download them onto your desktop.
The database is now in a beta-testing phase and we are only making it
available to Pinhole members and a few other select teacher groups.
We are asking you to send us LOTS of comments about the ease or
difficulty of using the database, what you could or could not find
and features you would like us to add or improve.
Enjoy this new resource! It was made for you.
Best,
Rose Falanga, M.L.S.
