Please add your thoughts to this question, What could usefully be added now to the "7 Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education"? Survey Link We will revist this topic in a few weeks as
we look at technology resources that can be used to support these principles and possibly an 8th principle.

ONLINE ARTICLES
The focus is on two online articles.
The New Yorker (1/26/2015) in print, page 36;   re:  The Internet Archive: archive.org; The Wayback Machine; and The Vanished Library.
Excerpt:
"...link rot, ...content drift, ...and reference rot... "
"The footnote, a landmark in the history of civilization, took centuries to invent and to spread. It has taken mere years nearly to destroy."

Other related resources of interest

In addition to engaging in conversation about the content, we will also discuss various ways participants accessed and annotated while reading.
