The University of Arizona, School of Information Resources and Library
Science together with Net Assets (an Internet training company) is
pleased to offer a 3-credit, graduate course during the Spring, 1998
semester, which focuses on "The Internet" utilizing the Internet as the
medium. LiS 688 -Advanced Issues in Information Resources - The
Internet, is an entirely online course that will study the Internet via
the Internet. Rick Gates, known for the Internet Hunt, will be the
instructor for the 15 week course.

        ****  http://www.sir.arizona.edu/sp98/688/  ****

After a one week introduction, the course will be split into two major
areas:

Weeks 2-8 will instill a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of the
Internet via an intensive, hands-on exploration of a wide variety of
Internet applications and services. Discussion of the Internet as a
medium for communication will also occur in this section.  The intent
here is to help students gain enough familiarity with the tools to begin
their own explorations.

Weeks 9-15 will focus on some of the major social issues, and impacts on
institutions. The intent here is to give students good background
knowledge of the Internet as a social phenomenon, and prepare them for
intelligent discourse of networked systems in a social context.
