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.)
