History 479A (Spring 2021)

Welcome to the History 479A "The Urbanization of American Life" guide for Spring 2021.

This guide is intended to supplement our synchronous instruction sessions this semester, for students to refer back to as they build out their culminating project, a digital exhibit focusing on San Francisco, California. If you have questions or need assistance, contact the Digital Literacy Librarian using the information listed on the right.

At the end of this semester's library instruction sessions, you will be able to:

• explain why public domain and Creative Commons licensed digital assets can be used free of charge and without violating copyright,
• locate public domain and Creative Commons licensed digital assets,
• interpret and analyze a digital archival item record to determine usage rights,
• interpret and analyze a digital archival item record to identify relevant metadata to include in your interpretive plan, and
• find, include, describe, and properly attribute digital assets in the course exhibit project.
