This course is intended for upper division undergraduates and graduate students in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It will provide students an opportunity to learn how to use the WWW for research purposes and for development of course related and research oriented projects.
Students will learn how to: search for and locate materials available on the Web; become familiar with a variety of Web sites useful for research and information sources; create their own Web documents using HTML; evaluate the information found by searching the Web; develop, design and evaluate a project of their own choosing suitable for placement on a Web site. At the beginning of the semester students should have in mind a possible project that involves use of information and information resources in the Humanities or Social Sciences.
This is an introductory course for beginners. Prerequisites include a basic understanding of computer operations and previous use of networking functions such as email and file transfer. Preference will be given to students meeting these qualifications from Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines. Students from other subject areas will be considered space permitting. Graduate students are encouraged to enroll.

Technical Preparation: Students will have to acquire the necessary technical skills to: create HTML encoded documents, transfer electronic files to the Web server, scan and process electronic images and manage files and directories on the Unix server in order to complete course assignments. The lab Tutor and instructor will provide support for these operations through the lab and office hour assistance, assigned readings, and instructional sheets accessible on the course Website.
