Infomation Access Seminar
A weekly seminar exploring selected advanced topics relating to "digital
libraries" with special emphasis on: access to networked resources, use
of two or more resources in conjunction, combined use of two or more retrieval
systems (e.g. use of pre- or post-processing to enhance the capabilities),
and the redesign of library services. See the schedule
for more details.
Human-Centered Computing Seminar
The weekly seminar addresses topics at the boundary between computer
science and disciplines studying human behavior. Topics include education
and development, collaboration, knowledge creation, design and cognition,
and computers as tools and mediators of those activities. See the class
schedule
for more details.
Class Sit-ins
Prospective students are encouraged to contact those faculty whose focus
and research interests them. Many times sit-ins can be arranged to provide
prospective students a better understanding of the material covered in SIMS
programs. These sit-ins should be arranged directly with faculty members.
Contact information is available in the faculty
directory.
