access points and authority control. To understand the broader theoretical context
in which these principles function.

The course consists of lectures, discussions in class and on the class newsgroup
(set up as an "alias"), class/lab demonstrations, in-class exercises, out-of-class
assignments, and in-class student presentations.
Students are expected to attend class, read the assigned text and other readings,
participate in class discussions and on the class electronic newsgroup, complete
in-class and homework assignments, and to be present on days when they are to
make presentations to the rest of the class. Students are responsible for using the
resources of the department and the university to learn how to use PITTCAT and
other public retrieval systems, the University of Pittsburgh libraries, electronic mail
and newsgroups, and OCLC.
A list of reserve materials is included in this syllabus. The reserve list includes some
supplemental texts that may be of interest to you to examine or read. Additional
materials may be put on reserve during the semester.
Due dates for assignments are included at the end of this syllabus. You are
encouraged to ask for assistance with them when needed. You may discuss your
work on these assignments with each other, but the ultimate work you turn in
should be the result of your having done the work yourself, not having copied
"answers" from other students.
Evaluation of your work is based on the percentages given with the assigment due
dates at the end of this syllabus.
All assignments must be turned in on time. Late assignments will not be accepted
except under dire circumstances. Incompletes will be given only under the most
extreme of conditions and with the understanding that the final grade will usually
then be one letter grade less than it would have been had the work been completed
on time.
Inclusive language: Gender-inclusive language is required in all course work and on
all exams. The use of respectful language in any situation is not a matter of "political
correctness" but one of simple courtesy.
