Index page for PADM 9060 Information & Data Management
Spring 2009 Online
General Info:
This course is being offered for the first time in Spring 2009. As with many of our doctoral-level courses, it seems a good time to do some creative, perhaps even experiemental things in the course. To this end, I have come up with some projects that should facilitate learning and also build a library of information useful for all of us. I will begin by explaining some of the background behind each of the projects.
