My other class this quarter hasn't met yet. The professor is in Hawaii so the class is listening to online lectures and reading a stack of articles in preparation for the class to start next week. I made it through the three online lectures for this week. So far it's a lot of overview. The professor went on and on about this being a really in-depth, difficult class, hard stuff, confusing, etc, etc. I don't doubt her, but it's on the subject of organization, so I'm pretty excited about it.
In a nutshell, this class is about the process of organizing information. First you decide what you are organizing; then you choose or create techniques, tools, and standards; then you create resource representatives; then you figure out organizing, retrieving, and displaying the resource representations; and lastly you provide access to resources. Sounds a bit dry I suppose, but I'm sure it will be fun.

A class on organizing? Oh dear....
Not that I can talk, I find it relaxing to spend 3 hours filing comics... but an entire class? Sheesh! Yer outta control Aimes. Stay back! She's gonna organize! :O Noooo!!!!
you know you're jealous! =)
um... but I already get to organize stuff. My "library" of comics. Sheesh! And I get to do it for free! Well, except for the back strain... meh.
Do you remember when you used to come into my room and clean and organize it just because you couldnt take it anymore. Heaven forbid someone teach you how to do something you already do automatically. Watch out world, she took classes.
ah yes, the good old days. I remember them so fondly. =)
