They have been asked to focus on the following four questions: 1. How was your digitization project related to the curriculum needs at your campus? 2. How was the project related to the faculty reserach needs? 3. What difficulties did you experience as a result of working with a language other than English? 4. What motivational forces existed beyond the campus to make the preservation of the identified language material important? McGinnis, Scott. Conference: Digitization of HL symposium -- NYC, 2/25/05.
