Comps are June 27, so now that the spring semester is over it’s time to get to studying. Well, sort of. Gotta take a little vacation first!
But once back I’ll be meeting with a friend on Saturdays to review, covering one core class per week as well as any current events that might go along with the topics at hand.
Here’s the schedule:
May 17 = The Basics (5033). Includes ethics and values; data, information, and knowledge; Ranganathan; information society (economics, policy, security).
May 24 = Management (5023). Includes planning and goals; organizational culture; human resources; communication; leadership; budgets; evaluation.
May 31 = Organization of Information (5043). Includes standards and standardization; access and authority control; vocabulary control; metadata; classification and categorization; intellectual property and copyright.
June 7 = Information Users (5053). Includes information behavior models and theories; learning styles; cultural perspectives and communities; information design and display.
June 14 = Research Methods (5713). Includes experimental design; ethics and IRB; assessment and evaluation.
June 21 = General Review.
Anyone else taking comps this summer and who wants to join us in Norman at noon on these Saturdays, please email me or leave a comment and I’ll let you know the location.
(PS to Linda: given what gas prices are doing I may not bop up to Tulsa after all, but let me know what study schedule y’all come up with just in case.)

No problem about the changed travel plans.
Thanks for posting the study outline. Hope you don’t mind if I adopt/adapt it. (I’ve yet to hear any updates on Tulsa study groups, so I may be going this one alone.)

Oh sure, use as you like.
If you ever just want to chat about any of this, email me your phone number and let me know a good time to call you.

Thanks, Kirsten. I may take you up on it.
[If the round trip didn't require five waking hours, I'd join you in Norman.]
