OBJECTIVES
Goals:
- To examine information

library cooperation

similarities and differences between various library and

efforts) and how they work for better library services
- To develop an understanding
of the technological, administrative and organizational
characteristics of information networks (ie, infrastructure,
costs, personnel, and other factors)
- To develop hands-on
expertise with the use of network software, microcomputers, and
other information technologies.
Assignments:
Most of the assignments in this course will be related to using
various information networks and library cooperatives. A second
set of assignments will involve information hunting exercises.
You will try to answer a set of queries using the resources
available through the networks and various search engines. We
will discuss these assignments further in class.
It should be obvious that
you will need to spend some time in the Department’s
Microcomputer Lab.
