Information tools, or Tools for Information Literacy

This particular class has gone through a series of number changes since the first time I taught it in the fall of 2000. But it has remained a very similar course, one focused on learning the underlying logic and syntax of the information tools we use every day. The SILS catalog describes INLS161 as:

Tools and concepts for information literacy. Includes software use and maintenance, computer applications, and networked information systems.
