This course will help prepare students to proactively and intentionally engage with the users they serve through examining information communities in a broader context of information behavior and the social, cultural, economic, technological, and political forces that shape their information access and use. Framing the course as outward-facing embraces a forward-thinking and beneficial perspective for graduates and information professionals to conceptualize both their own roles and the potential of the LIS profession. Ultimately users are at the heart of all libraries and information services, so this course focuses outward on the very people librarians and information professionals serve: those who are creating, using, and sharing information. INFO 200 meets SJSU’s graduate writing assessment requirement (GWAR). The different resources and services that information professionals provide for their user communities will also be addressed as will instuctional programming and technology. This course examines information users and the social, cultural, economic, technological, and political forces that shape their information access and use. Contact Ischool staff in the Fall of 2021. This only is accomplished during the FALL term each year.
