The "Dead Germans" Project

Most of these biographies were created as various course projects by students in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville: contributions in text or links are welcomed.

Contributions from LIS students at UTK using any WYSYWIG word processor or editor (Composer, Front Page, DreamWeaver, MS Word), are unacceptable and will not be added to the site. The point of the exercise is to demonstrate that you know basic coding and FTP skills. Let me be clear about this: if you do not hand-code your site, it will not be accepted. It will not count for your grade.
