Welcome to LIS 201 - The Information Society

Hello!  We'll use these discussion section wikis to hold conversations about our readings and to conduct constructive and civil peer reviews of oral and written work in LIS 201.                

LIS 201 discussion sections, wikis, and blogs - Fall 2011

LIS 201 software training sessions - Fall 2011

• Software training sessions on PowerPoint will be held instead of regular discussion sections during the week of your first exam (the week of October 10).
• The Wednesday, 10/12 sessions (9:30-10:45, 1:00-2:15, 2:30-3:45, and 4:00-5:15) will all meet in B203 Computer Sciences. 
• The Thursday, 10/13 sessions (9:30-10:45, 11:00-12:15, 1:00-2:15, and 2:30-3:45) and the Friday, 10/14 session (11:00-12:15) will all meet in B109 Computer Sciences. 
• These two rooms are across the hall from one another, in the basement of Computer Sciences.  Students just need to find some stairs near the Tech Store and head down.
