Liberal Arts Lecture Archive
The Liberal Arts Lecture Archive is a project of Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services (LAITS), a unit of the College of
Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. The Archive will
house video recordings of lectures by leading teachers and experts in the
College which the College will provide via the Web to support classroom
instruction, to edify the public, and to further the aims of liberal
arts education.
The material that follows exemplifies what the College will make available through the Archive.
