Spring 2003
Learning Showcase: IRLS 589 - Scholarly Communication
Final Projects, Presentations, & Other Deliverables
Note: Students completed three major assignments in this course. Assignment
1 was a simple bibliometric study (productivity analysis of a journal,
citation data and descriptor data collection), Assignment 2 was a study of
Eprints archive, DLIST, and Assignment 3 was a choice between completing
the bibliometric study begun in the first Assignment or writing an essay
on the future of scholarly communication.
Follow the student name hyperlinks to their final projects. Students were
given the option of pariticipating in this Showcase (for an extra 5 points).
Only students who gave me permissions to exhibit their work are listed on
this page. Please don't hesitate to credit appropriately, if you find
the work useful.

Course News & Update:
For information about the course and requirements, check the Course Syllabus.
Students used a variety of online tools and databases;
a complete list can be found in the KS
Toolbox.
Currently, I teach two courses in the new track (or
specialization), Knowledge Organization. Read this article for details, http
://www.dlib.org/dlib/july02/coleman/07coleman.html. Other courses
leading to the KO specialization include:
- IRLS 401/501 - Organization of Information (formerly Knowledge Structures
I)
- IRLS 601 - Knowledge Structures (formerly Knowledge Structures II to be
offered first time in 2005)
- IRLS 588 - Theory of Classification (redesigned offering first time
in 2004 or 06)
- IRLS 695e - Controlled Vocabularies (taught first time in Spring 2003 and
integrating Information Architecture and some Information Systems skills
and knowledge besides creation of controlled vocabularies including thesauri)
- IRLS 588 - Digital Libraries (to be offered first time in 2004)
Two courses that are not a part of the KO track and that I try to teach regularly
are IRLS 587, Information Seeking Behaviors (every fall), and every spring, IRLS 589,
Scholarly Communication. IRLS 589 will cover the bibliometrics
(including citation analysis) aspects that were a part of IRLS 601. I will
also watch the development of 'document network analysis' an
emerging area of research to see if this course fits into the KO
specialization.
