OBJECTIVES
Goals:
- To examine information networks in its
historical context with special emphasis on library cooperation
- To understand the similarities and
differences between various library and information networks (systems,
networks, and other cooperative 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.
Grades: Grades for this course
will be based on completion of the assignments, midterms, and participation in
class discussions.
