The material is designed to introduce the concept of primary sources in the study of the conflict between growers and farm workers; to engage students in the examination of primary sources; and to prompt students to think critically about the source, context, and point of view when encountering primary sources. It is geared to high school students, and meets social studies, history and geography standards.

| California Digital Library/IU Strategic Partnership |  The California Digital Library (CDL)--the 11th university library of the University of California--and the Interactive University Project have recently established a strategic partnership. Working together, the CDL and the IU will test and develop ways for educational technologies to make the library's resources more accessible to all its audiences-including current and potential users in K-12 communities. On April 18th at CDL offices in downtown Oakland, about 30 CDL staff attended a joint presentation by IU and CDL that publicly launched the partnership. IU staff traveled to Oakland to demonstrate recent work on a prototype for the Scholar's Box-an online tool that enables users to discover, archive, manipulate and re-distribute information in digital repositories. CDL staff were excited by the possibilities inherent in the Scholar's Box technologies to further expose the public to the library's collections.
