  • the library is working on digitizing additional images that can be posted on YouTube using VoiceThread software, which merges images, text, and audio. Students will be able plug pictures from the library's archive into VoiceThread slide shows. Then they can create avatars of themselves talking about the images, add relevant information, draw on the images, and accept comments from their classmates.
  • Woodruff used the site to catalyze a discussion contrasting American society with the one in The Giver, in which individuals readily surrender memories in the belief that past events are burdensome, painful, and best forgotten.



    "The site allows the students to see how much time and energy our society spends recording and preserving our history," observes Woodruff. "It's a great way to get the students to consider the purpose of documenting history and the powerful tie between a society's past and its future."



    Where better to explore that tie than at the virtual library? Libraries have always been archives of our collective past. Now, with the advent of multimedia virtual libraries, they appear also to be heralds of our future.
