    6. French Revolutionary Pamphlets - [ARTFL; facsimiles]. "This page points to a series of experiments to determine optimal parameters for the network distribution of rare text page images, with navigation aids so that the user might simply read a book online. Each book has a table of contents which outlines the scanning parameters allows the user to open the volume at any page. I have selected a series of hard to find pamphlets published during the French Revolution as the basis for these experiments, but of course, one could digitize almost any kind of document." [Mark Olsen]

    6. HY309 - Electric Renaissance - "Welcome to the Electric Renaissance, a course taught over the Internet. This is really rather a traditional class, with lots of reading and lots of discussion and a term paper with all the trimmings. The form of the course is, however, rather different. ... This is a course that is taught entirely by computer. We have one live meeting the first day of the semester, mostly for orientation. From then on, the class relies on three foundations: textbooks, discussion, and the Web. You are looking at the Web site.
