IMS3616 Information Access (DISESTABLISHED FB 05/07) (14 Dec 2007, 1:23pm) [InfoAccess ]

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

This revised unit is a core unit in the Bachelor of Information Systems (Information Management). It is part of the librarianship stream of units required for ALIA recognition. The unit is consistent with the demands from the LIS profession and the workplace for students to be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills relating to reference processes, and an understanding of the principles and practice applied by libraries in selecting, acquiring/licensing, and providing users with access to all forms of information resources. This unit is taught in conjunction with IMS5016, but has a different assessment structure. It replaces LAR3650 and LAR3652.
