Course Summary
Characteristics of recorded knowledge; identification and description of recorded information; principles of physical description, authority control, and subject access; creation of catalogs and databases.
All libraries and information centers utilize the processes of acquisition and organization of materials that facilitate the retrieval process. Because success in accessing and retrieving the materials that will satisfy a patron's immediate information need is dependent upon the information specialist's comprehension of the scheme that determines the organization of materials within an information center, it is important that the student complete a survey course that will introduce the fundamental principles and concepts that facilitate the organization of materials.

I took Dr. Evans for this course. Anaclare is a really nice lady but her narcolepsy and incessant urge to ramble about her husband and dogs can make one want to pull one's hair out. I learned nothing in this class... so if you want an easy A, take it with her, but if you want to learn something, take it with someone else.
