LIS 7008 has two tearching modes: face-to-face and Web-based, and usually rotate every semester. It is better learned by face-to-face because technological concepts and procedures are better learned face-to-face. If you live close to Baton Rouge, try to take it when the face-to-face mode is offered.

This is a core course of the MLIS program; it aims to fill American Library Association's technological requirements on information professionals and to lay a technological foundation to many advanced courses at SLIS, therefore is very intensive and extensive. If you feel you are technologically very weak, please talk to your advisor about taking LIS 2001 Information Technologies first. Slides will typically be posted at Monday evenings; a homework assignment is due before the beginning of its next class session.
