TIS Lab

We are pleased to announce the publication of the For Education section on Avoice.  The For Education section ties Avoice exhibit resources with K-12 lesson units. The first phase includes the “Voting Rights act of 1965”, the “Anti-apartheid Movement,” and the “Environmental Justice Movement.” Each lesson includes Learning Objectives, Activities, Documents and Worksheets, and integrates the lesson into National Learning Standards.  Thanks go to Meg Kemp of TIS and Alison Koostra of the CBCF for bringing this project to completion by the requested date.

The For Education publication completes a series of updates provided by the University of Texas Libraries Technology Integration Services and Library Systems. The additional updates include integrating the News Releases and News Listing with a new RSS feed to insure easy maintenance and consistency. Further improvements include a new Webcast, a new Environment Justice exhibit, and several updates to the existing exhibits including metadata support for the popular research tool Zoltero. Finally, improvements were made to the site’s HTML and CSS, and the site received a thorough refresh of its programming.

We would like to thank the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and Library Systems for helping use complete these updates by the requested time frame.
