<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Faculty and Students:<br>
<br>
Human Relations Area Files invites you to stop by the HRAF booth at the
upcoming Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association (AAA)
in San Francisco (November 19-23, 2008).<br>
<br>
The AAA Meeting provides an excellent opportunity for HRAF staff to interact
with faculty and students from our member institutions and to demonstrate
features of the eHRAF World Cultures/Archaeology databases. Christiane
Cunnar will conduct eHRAF training sessions to discuss search techniques and
tips, new online teaching tools, and other HRAF-related issues. Please
stop by and learn more about these powerful databases.<br>
<br>
The following eHRAF training sessions will be held at the HRAF booth #811:
November 20th, 21th, 22nd at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Seating is
limited, so please notify me as soon as possible (via email or stopping by the
booth). If these times are inconvenient, please stop by and we can arrange an
individual session. <br>
<br>
For those of you who won't be able to attend the HRAF training session at the
AAA conference, I would like to invite your department to an eHRAF database
training session via webinar with speaker phone & internet. Topics
discussed in training sessions:<br>
<br>
**Why eHRAF Webinar phone training? This allows faculty and students to
better understand HRAF's unique indexing and search nature of the eHRAF World
Cultures/Archaeology databases, thus allowing more use in teaching (see <a
href="http://www.yale.edu/hraf/teaching.htm">http://www.yale.edu/hraf/teaching.htm</a>
for online student exercises) and research. <br>
<br>
**Who should attend? Faculty and/or students. For some institutions the
library arranges the instruction session, and in addition to the librarians it
also invites faculty and students. <br>
<br>
**What does it cover? Discussion of the Browse and Search features; the
selection process for the cultures; the purpose and nature of the HRAF/OCM
subject and OWC culture codes; helpful search strategy tips to optimize finding
information; etc.<br>
<br>
**What is needed? Preferably a computer room with computer workstations or a
class room with Internet access and a speaker phone. Essential is a
“lead” person (typically a librarian, faculty, or TA) who organizes
the training. During a Webinar session all computers must log on to my
web site (via a Webinar URL) allowing them to see my navigation through
Browse and Search. The Webinar system is nice because all the computers
show the same screen and navigation and attendees can focus on taking notes,
rather than trying to follow my navigation.<br>
<br>
**How long does it take? I know that everybody's time is precious but I like to
allow at least one hour. That way I don't have to rush through it and can
answer questions as we navigate through the database. <br>
<br>
It might be best to set up such a eHRAF webinar sometime in the beginning of
the spring semester. Please let me know whether your department would be
interested in such a phone training session for eHRAF. <br>
<br>
Finally, most of our members have access to eHRAF World Cultures (<a
href="http://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu/"> http://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu</a>),
but not eHRAF Archaeology (<a href="http://ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/">
http://ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu</a>). eHRAF Archaeology is organized by
regions and archaeological traditions ranging from Scythians to Dawenkou to the
Mayan sequence. Each tradition consists of a general summary and full-text
documents including books, journal articles, dissertations, and manuscripts.
Please contact me if you would like temporary access to eHRAF Archaeology, or
ask for a semester-long trial.<br>
<br>
I look forward to seeing you at the AAA Meeting in San Francisco, CA!<br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
<br>
