INLS 247: SPECIAL LIBRARIES AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

ASSIGNMENTS

Spring 1999

Two of the five assignments for the class are individual and three are to be done as part of a team. For team assignments, each person will receive the same grade, unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Details on each of the five assignments are provided separately (see the links above). The table below summarizes the deliverables and dates each assignment is due.

An alternative to any of the assignments may be proposed to allow each person to tailor the class activities to his/her particular interests or needs.

In addition to the formal assignments, there is an individual class participation grade (10%). This grade will be based on your preparedness and participation in class. Please also plan to contribute comments (at least once every two weeks) to the class discussion board about the readings, about visits or experiences relevant to the class, about conversations you have monitored on relevant listservs. Or you may post a citation to an interesting reading or useful website.
