LIS 60510: Digital Technologies I - Data Fundamentals

The first of three one-credit courses in digital technologies, this course presents foundational knowledge on the principles that underlie digital resources and services in modern information society, with specific emphasis on data representation, encoding, formatting, and data modeling, providing students with conceptual and practical knowledge of the principles of knowledge representation in the form of digital data. With successful completion of the course, students will understand the role and principles of digital data that underlie modern methods of knowledge representation.

LIS 60511: Digital Technologies II - Internet Fundamentals

The second of three one-credit courses in digital technologies, this course presents foundational knowledge on the principles that underlie digital resources and services in modern information society, with specific emphasis on online information systems, the Internet, and data security, providing students with conceptual and practical knowledge of the principles of Internet and Web architecture and their application in online library and information systems. With successful completion of the course, students will understand the role and principles of Internet and Web technologies that enable the collection, protection, and dissemination of digital objects in modern library and information systems.

LIS 60512: Digital Technologies III - Information Systems Fundamentals

The third of three one-credit courses in digital technologies, this course presents foundational knowledge on the principles that underlie digital resources and services in modern information society, with specific emphasis on Web-based information applications, programming logic, Linked Data, and the interpretation of data. This course provides students with conceptual and practical knowledge of the principles of web-based information applications in online library and information systems. With successful completion of the course, students will understand the role and principles of Web-based applications and Linked Data that enable the management and use of modern library and information systems, and their content.

UXD 61095: Knowledge Organization Structures (KOS) for UXD

This course introduces a set of knowledge organization structures (KOS) and their representations in relationship to user experience design. Explains the theoretical foundations, design methods and norms, and historical and modern representations of the faceted, hierarchical, and networked knowledge organization structures while exploring the potential impacts of their applications on the user experience.
