554 Information Visualization and Presentation

Introduction to emerging field of Information VisualizationHow to use human perceptual capabilities to gain insights into large and abstract data sets.

Foundation in human visual perception and how it relates to creating effective information visualizations.

Understand the key design principles

Study major techniques and systems

Use data visualization tools, such Google Motion Charts, Google Fusion Tables, ManyEyes, Tableau

Evaluate information visualizations tools

Design new, innovative visualizations

553 Digital Libraries

Fundamental Issues and Approaches to Digital Libraries– Study variety of digital library collections

– Organization, access, and use of digital libraries

– Technical infrastructure

– Socioeconomic issues

– Integration of information resources

– Relation to traditional libraries

– Current projects and initiatives

– Major issues affecting progress in the field

– Goals of digital library work

– How to design and plan a digital library


552 Understanding Library Systems & Software Applications

Study Information Systems that enable key digital services in Libraries and Information Organizations:

–Content Management Systems (CMS)

–Circulation: acquisition, cataloging and access

–Digital Library Networks


558 Digital Library Technology

Study the Organizational, Technical, and Logistical issues concerning the Design and Implementation of electronic collections, documents, and services.

–Students build their own prototype digital library


557 Database Design and Management

Study Relational, Object Oriented and Other Databases

‒ Read about and discuss the evolution of database management systems from legacy systems to the Web

‒ Become knowledgeable about different Types of Databases (e.g., DSS, Linguistic, Marketing, Knowledge Management, etc.)

‒ Learn about Data Structures

‒ Learn about Relational Databases

‒ Learn how to design Database Management System (DBMS);

‒ Practice using Structured Query language (SQL);

‒ Implement Database


524 Metadata for the Information Professional

Examine of issues and problems relating to the creation and application of metadata in various information environments.

–Major Metadata schemes

–Encoding standards and container architecture

–Examine functions, syntax, semantics, quality of meta data.

–Resource identifiers

–Controlled vocabularies

–Metadata project management


512 Interface Design

Interactive computing devices used in information seeking activities.

Quality of user interface (UI) determines user experience. – How does one design a "good" user interface?

Concepts and Methods for Designing and Evaluating User Interfaces

Major topics:

– Relationships between users' models of information systems and the conceptual models presented to them

– Human cognitive capabilities

– User interface design principles and methods

– Task and user analysis

– User interface evaluation and usability testing

– Students will use web design tools (Dreamweaver/MS PowerPoint) to prototype user interfaces for information retrieval systems


551 Information Retrieval (IR)

Theory, Design, Use, and Evaluation of IR Systems– Design principles for IR systems and their implementation

– Characteristics of operational and experimental retrieval systems

– Evaluation of information retrieval systems.

Topics– Structured vs. Unstructured Data

– Formal vs. vague queries

– Relevance

– Interaction

– Evaluation
