DLM Index feature: "IT Careers". This month's featured resource
was prepared by UCB undergraduate Education 191H students
in collaboration with the Interactive University. The purpose of the IT Careers website is to help students become familiar with Information Technology and be able to connect the knowledge they have from classroom to jobs and careers. This project also hopes to break the myths and pre-conceived biases that students have about technology. The Careers project strives to incorporate information about: weblogging, researching companies, and powerpoint presentations.

"Lately I've been immersed
in American history and what students need to know to do research
in this area, and I've found I keep having the same conversations
with 5th grade teachers, 8th grade teachers, 11th grade teachers,
librarians, university faculty and graduate student instructors.
What's really fascinating about my conversations is that the
issues facing students and teachers doing history are essentially
the same, whether these students are 10, 14, or 19 years old.
With that in mind, it's interesting to realize that one outcome
of the California Heritage Project's work with history teachers
in Oakland public schools, has been the ideas and processes
that have evolved into a project I'm currently working on.
That work has been instrumental in helping The Teaching Library
develop a new approach to providing undergraduates primary
source instruction here on campus. The work with OUSD has
enriched the ways we are teaching undergraduates historical
research."
 This
recent observation by Lynn Jones, Director of the California
Heritage Project, reveals something about the way librarians
can help students at all levels do historical research. Jones,
along with Teaching Library colleague, Corliss Lee, is currently
providing instruction to UC Berkeley's History 7B course-American
History from 1865 to the Present-to help undergraduates increase
their understanding of primary sources, and get access to
materials available from the Library, including Bancroft Library's
digital collections.
