Freedman Fellows Program -- Information, 2009

This year, the Freedman Fellows Program will award, at most, five (5) $3,000 awards to successful regular, permanent fulltime faculty who discuss and demonstrate in their applications how information technology or digital tools will be used to enhance their teaching or research.

Application information will be provided at an information session on Thursday, March 19th, 2009, from 12:00-1:30, in the Kelvin Smith Library's Dampeer Room.

The Freedman Fellows Program in 2009 will require attendance at a week-long seminar, May 11th-May 15th, covering information technology, theory of digital tools and concepts, discussions of the use of technology in curricular re-design, and hands-on access to and use of various technologies in the Freedman Center—all centered on getting fulltime faculty the tools necessary to move forward with course or research enhancements.

The Freedman Fellows Program is intended to showcase the Freedman Center’s potential. The awards encourage the use of information technologies and the building of teaching and research tools that support the development of information and research skills objectives for students, faculty, and staff. As well, a new addition to this year's Freedman Fellows Program is the accent on Digital Case and the expectation that the outcomes of research or digitization efforts will include deposits of said materials in Digital Case: Case Western Reserve University's digital library, institutional repository and digital archive.

For more information please contact Tom Hayes, Freedman Center Managing Librarian and Head of Digital Library Programs.
