HTML final assignment

I guess we are supposed to create a portfolio of the work we have done so far in LIS2600. I don't feel like I did too well in this course. The funny thing is that I know this is an introductory cousre to the fundamental aspects of digital librarianship, but I had a hard time with some pretty basic tasks. It is not that the tasks were difficult in themselves but that doing this course online makes it very hard when one has questions, or when soemthing is not working the way you need it to. I found that overall the assignments were quite easy but when it came to actually completing them (without a hitch) was the hard part: I understood what to do but not how to do it.

The final LIS 2000 essay is proving to be difficult as well. I am having a herd time geting a grasp of all the complexities of copyright. I know that I could never be a lawyer in any case (no pun intended). To follow just what laws are being broken, especially, after the milleniium copyrigh act is enough to make one's head spin. It seems that there are so many laws that there is no way that they do not contradict each other. I like Remix's tone and style in regards to how it treat the way in which copyright laws should be rewritten. we need not go to "war" over people who break these laws. the laws are on the whole overbearing and "arcane" indeed.
