Information Organization and Retrieval

202
T-Th 9.30-11am

Location: 166 Barrows

This course introduces the intellectual foundations of information organization and retrieval: conceptual modeling, semantic representation, vocabulary and metadata design, classification, and standardization, as well as information organization and retrieval practices, technology, and applications, including computational processes for analyzing information in both textual and non-textual formats. Students will learn how information organization and retrieval is carried out by professionals, authors, and users; by individuals in association with other individuals, and as part of the business processes in an enterprise and across enterprises.

This is a required course for students entering the School of Information master’s degree program. Undergraduates and graduate students in other departments are occasionally permitted to enroll.
