This is my first post to start the process of developing research ideas for the SLIS 705 Research Project. My initial thoughts on a research area is to investigate digital archives, which is my area of career interest. I have surveyed several digital archive projects in the past, but will now develop a research plan to focus on the aspects of digital archives that I don't know much about and/or what interests me the most. Some things I have considered are the manners in which institutions promote, market and disseminate their digital archives to the public. Another aspect of digital archives that interests me is to what degree material is available digitally in relation to the entire collection. As I begin researching this topic more, I anticipate other ideas may crop up and possibly change the course of my research focus.
Happy researching to the rest of my classmates!
Nice beginning!
