Q1.  Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the module, and suggest possible improvements.
1.This module is somewhat on the broad side. While it gives an overview on many aspects of digital libraries, practically every aspect is dealt with on a rather superficial level. A good thing about this module is that most of these aspects are pretty interesting. The workload of this module seems about right, although the first homework is a lot more work than its weightage in the final score. Also, it would be good if the project proposal is pushed earlier.
