DU students must successfully complete the DU Study Abroad nomination process by indicated deadlines in order to receive approval to participate on an AUP. AUPs are approved based on the accredited institution issuing the transcript for student coursework abroad. In the case of some foreign institutions listed below, it may be possible for a student to enroll in the institution via a U.S. program provider (IES, CIEE, CEA, g-MEO, IGE, USAC, etc.); in doing so, it is the student's responsibility to verify that the program provider selected offers a transcript from the institution indicated below, otherwise DU may deny transfer of credit for the program.

    E-readers: devices for passionate leisure readers or an empowering scholarly resource? Peter Lund1, Katie Appleton2, Bryan Dawson2, Nick Loakes3, Ann O’Brien3 1. Learning Resources, University of Canterbury, formerly Loughborough University Library, UK. 2. Loughborough University Library, Loughborough, UK. 3. Department of Information Science, Loughborough University, UK. Acknowledgements Dr Gabriel Egan4 and Emma Clift4, Dave Clemens5, Deborah Fitchett5, Catherine Jane5, 4. Department of English and Drama, Loughborough University, UK. 5. Learning Resources, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Summary E-books are increasingly common in academic libraries and e-book reading devices such as the Kindle and iPad are achieving huge sales for leisure readers. The authors undertook a small study at Loughborough University Library to explore areas in which a variety of e-book readers might be applied. Areas included: e-books on reading lists, PDFs of journal articles, inter-library loans supplied from the British Library and teaching support for Shakespeare studies. Whilst the e-readers did not offer sufficient advantages to merit integrating them into a service, the study proved useful in developing library expertise in the use of and support for e-readers. Introduction E-books are becoming more common in academic libraries for a number of reasons. They may be attractive to Library management since they can be acquired quickly, are easier to store and offer huge space saving advantages. There is the convenience of 24/7 access and if you happen to be a librarian in earthquake-torn Christchurch, they may offer the only alternative to the paper versions stored in libraries suffering temporary closure.

  • Lessons in Ephemera: Teaching and Learning Through Cultural Heritage Collections
    Melissa McMullan and Joanna Cobley Lessons in Ephemera: Teaching and Learning through Cultural Heritage Collections This article synthesizes an intern’s experience assessing the University of Canterbury’s (UC) theatre and concert music program ephemera collec- tion for its teaching and research potential, and evaluating its storage and preservation needs. Held at the Macmillan Brown Library and Archive (MB), the collection comprises around 6,000 items and takes up seven linear meters of physical storage space. The ephemera functioned as a portal into the evolution of Christchurch’s theatrical and concert music history, giving weight to the collection as a rich local historical resource worthy of keeping. The ephemera reflected how British, European, and American cultural practices were infused into colonial Christchurch’s theatrical and concert music scene. The collection also revealed a tradi- tion of UC teachers who, since its establishment in 1873 as Canterbury College, actively shaped, participated in, and facilitated the develop- ment of Christchurch’s theatre and concert music heritage. Overall, the collection’s research value was its localism. Different ways of engaging researchers with the ephemera were considered, in addition to identify- ing the transferable skills the intern gained. With growing interest from students about internships, the authors also address questions about long-term impact and scalability of cultural-heritage collection-based in- tern and/or classroom-based learning projects more generally. Our main message for higher education management and those charged with the custodianship of cultural heritage collections is that hands-on learning helps students appreciate and value these locally significant collections. Academic archivists and librarians understand the value of working with cultural heritage collections, such as ephemera, yet the size and scope of these often uncata- logued, closed-storage collections can deter access.1 Connecting teaching staff and 1.
