UNIV 103 - Information Management
On a somewhat irregular basis, the library also offers UNIV 103, a 1-credit course in Information Management.  This course teaches students to access, evaluate, and organize information in support of both research and life information needs. Students explore Internet resources and tools as well as traditional print resources. Skills and principles learned in this hands-on course apply directly to research assignments in other courses, as well as to the professional workplace. Students should have familiarity with the basic functions of Microsoft Windows and an Internet browser.
