Look unchanged Galadriel's LIS 694 Experiment Page Aloha! This web page is part of an experiment being undertaken by the students in the LIS 694 course entitled "Seminar on Information Communication Policy Issues." In this experiment students will create similar web pages that link to the pages created by other students. Each web page will include metadata in the form of Dublin Core meta tags. Effects on indexing by search engines will be observed.
