This course will survey the structures of information, patterns of information retrieval, and the resources and technologies used in research. The research projects demonstrate an understanding of the principles of information organization and retrieval. Students may choose to directly apply the results of the project to their thesis preparation, or simply use the project for a model of information retrieval and organization. Attendance at every class is expected. Since much of the information needed to complete the assignments is only available in class, it is in the student's best interest to attend every session.
Students are responsible for allmaterials delivered in class.
