How has the digitization of Victorian periodicals and newspapers affected learning and teaching in the twenty-first-century university classroom? Two roundtable presentations at the 2011 RSVP Conference in Canterbury provided compelling answers to this question by highlighting the challenges and opportunities associated with using electronic newspaper and periodical databases as pedagogical tools. The first panel,“Digitization in Learning and Teaching,” featured papers by Jim Mussell, Seth Cayley, Bob Nicholson, and Linda K. Hughes. The second panel,“Revealing the Cultural Work of Poetry in Periodicals through the Periodical Poetry Index,” was a collaborative presentation created by co-founders of the index, Natalie Houston, Lindsy Lawrence, and April Patrick. Both roundtables raised compelling questions and sparked productive conversations. By popular demand, these papers are reproduced here in printed form so as to promote further discussion and exchange among members of RSVP.
