INLS 465 – Understanding Information Technology for Managing Digital Collections
[Last Updated: 2014-04-01]
Spring 2014
Meeting Time: Friday, 9:00am-11:45am
Location: Manning 117
Credits: 3
Instructor: Kam Woods
Office: 212 Manning
E-Mail: kamwoods [at][email - DOT - unc DOT - edu]
Office Hours: Thursday, 3:15-4:00, or by appointment
Course Web Site: https://sakai.unc.edu/
The fundamental motivation for this course is that anyone responsible for digital collections will have to understand and be conversant in various aspects of the associated information technologies. The concepts and approaches covered will provide you with a solid foundation on which to evaluate the work of developers, delegate technical and organizational tasks, write appropriate requests for proposals (RFPs), and establish reasonable management and preservation policies.
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
Special Needs: If you feel that you may need an accommodation for a disability or have any other special need, please make an appointment to discuss this with me. I will best be able to address special circumstances if I know about them early in the semester. My office hours and contact information are listed at the beginning of this syllabus.
Diversity Statement
"In support of the University’s diversity goals and the mission of the School of Information and Library Science, SILS embraces diversity as an ethical and societal value. We broadly define diversity to include race, gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, social class, age, sexual orientation and physical and learning ability. As an academic community committed to preparing our graduates to be leaders in an increasingly multicultural and global society we strive to:
The statement represents a commitment of resources to the development and maintenance of an academic environment that is open, representative, reflective and committed to the concepts of equity and fairness."
~The faculty of the School of Information and Library Science (http://sils.unc.edu/about/diversity)
It is very important that you both attribute your sources and avoid excessive use of quotes (see separate document called "In Your Own Words"). Be aware of the University of North Carolina policy on plagiarism. Your written work must be original. Ask if you have any doubts about what this means.
All cases of plagiarism (unattributed quotation or paraphrasing) of anyone else's work, whether from someone else's answers to homework or from published materials, will be officially reported and dealt with according to UNC policies (Instrument of Student Judicial Governance, Section II.B.1. and III.D.2, http://instrument.unc.edu).
The most important measures of your performance in this and all other classes at SILS will be your ability to engage in challenging materials with your fellow students; your reputation for insights and professionalism among your peers and with your instructor; your integration of course material with the other things you are learning both inside and outside the classroom; and your ability to apply what you’ve learned in your future career. However, the conventions of academia dictate that I also assign labels (called grades) to your work on assignments and for the course as a whole.
Based on UNC Registrar Policy for graduate-level courses (http://regweb.unc.edu/resources/rpm24.php), both assignment and semester grades will be H, P, L or F. Few students will obtain an "H," which signifies an exceptionally high level of performance (higher than an "A" in an A-F systems). The following is a more detailed breakdown:
| H | Superior work: complete command of subject, unusual depth, great creativity or originality |
| P+ | Above average performance: solid work somewhat beyond what was required and good command of the material |
| P | Satisfactory performance that meets course requirements (expected to be the median grade of all students in the course) |
| P- | Acceptable work in need of improvement |
| L | Unacceptable graduate performance: substandard in significant ways |
| F | Performance that is seriously deficient and unworthy of graduate credit |
According to UNC Registrar Policy, undergraduate grades are based on the following definitions:
| A | Mastery of course content at the highest level of attainment that can reasonably be expected of students at a given stage of development. The A grade states clearly that the students have shown such outstanding promise in the aspect of the discipline under study that he/she may be strongly encouraged to continue. |
| B | Strong performance demonstrating a high level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The B grade states that the student has shown solid promise in the aspect of the discipline under study. |
| C | A totally acceptable performance demonstrating an adequate level of attainment for a student at a given stage of development. The C grade states that, while not yet showing unusual promise, the student may continue to study in the discipline with reasonable hope of intellectual development. |
| D | A marginal performance in the required exercises demonstrating a minimal passing level of attainment. A student has given no evidence of prospective growth in the discipline; an accumulation of D grades should be taken to mean that the student would be well advised not to continue in the academic field. |
| F | For whatever reason, an unacceptable performance. The F grade indicates that the student's performance in the required exercises has revealed almost no understanding of the course content. A grade of F should warrant an advisor's questioning whether the student may suitably register for further study in the discipline before remedial work is undertaken. |
| AB | Absent from final examination, but could have passed if exam taken. This is a temporary grade that converts to an F* after the last day of class for the next regular semester unless the student makes up the exam. |
| FA | Failed and absent from exam. The FA grade is given when the undergraduate student did not attend the exam, and could not pass the course regardless of performance on the exam. This would be appropriate for a student that never attended the course or has excessive absences in the course, as well as missing the exam. |
| IN | Work incomplete. This is a temporary grade that converts to F* at the end of eight weeks into the next semester unless the student makes up the incomplete work. |
| W | Withdrew passing. Entered when a student drops after the six-week drop period. |
The texts for the course are available for purchase from the UNC Student Stores in the Daniels Building (two buildings south of Manning).

Tools to Support Curation of Digital Collections - This class is not focused on specific applications. However, it is often helpful to know what software is available to support various activities that relate to the topics of the course. For a directory of tools, organized around a set of functions identified in the DigCCurr (Digital Curation Curriculum) Project, see: http://www.ils.unc.edu/callee/temp-dc-tools/digital-curation-tools.htm
Discussion of the structure of the class, the topics we'll cover, and why the topics are important to understand when managing digital collections.
