Learning Showcase: IRLS 695e - Controlled Vocabularies
Final Projects, Presentations, & Other Deliverables
Note: Students had to do a number of things throughout the duration
of this course. The Information, Computing, Technology Literacy
mini-thesauri that they
created as final project are shared publicly here (ungraded versions).
Follow the student name hyperlinks to the thesaurus the student created. I am
very proud that they learned to use thesaurus creation software - Multi-Tes -
in addition to the NISO Z39.19 thesaurus standard. Thanks to the students who
have given me permission to share their work in the Showcase. Only students
whose work is exhibited are listed here 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 looked at a variety of online thesauri as well as tools and standards;
a complete list can be found in the KS
Toolbox. Brief descripion of Final project (thesauri
construction exercise).
This is the first new course offering 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)
IRLS 589, Scholarly Communication, 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.
