Learning Lessons from Historical Case Studies: Information Sources & Higher Education

Abstract

Historical case studies to construction failures MUST be in the curriculum because of the lessons to be learnt from them. Number of modules with teaching on historical failures remain low. Why should this be so? Could it be because of the quantity, availability and quality of source information? The case is made for the community (how large?) to resource the setup , the maintenance and the running of an e-library resource.
