LBSC 671 - Creating Information Infrastructure
Spring 2014 - Section 0101
Required Readings

The readings serve two important functions in this course. The first is to introduce you to the topics that we will discuss in class, something that can only be done before the indicated week's class begins. The second is to convey material in more detail than it is possible to discuss in class. Since the material in the readings is testable regardless of whether it is discussed directly in class, it would be a good idea to go back over the readings after class is over in order to ensure that you have understand the details that are related to the concepts we discussed in class. This is a rapidly changing field, and occasionally new readings become available (or come to my attention) that I would like to take advantage of, so please check back here a week before each class for updates. Note that the readings are not the only assignments; there are also textbook chapters, videos, and homework. See the schedule for a complete list.
