The Library Department is pleased to announce that our new course: LIB 1201 – Research & Documentation for the Information Age — will be offered during the Fall 2010 semester. This 3-credit course will run on Tuesday/Thursday 10:00am – 11:15am, and may be taken to satisfy Core requirements in Communications (COMM) or as an Elective (ELECT). The prerequisite is ENG 1101.
Course Description:
In this course students will explore issues in research and documentation for text (in print and online), images, sound, and multimedia. We will investigate where information comes from and how it is organized in both traditional and emerging media. Students will examine the ethics of information use and determine how to critically evaluate sources. Throughout the course, students will create and present research and documentation projects using traditional and emerging media and technologies.
