The purpose of this blog

The purpose of this blog is to discuss the ways in which information professionals organize information, both today and historically.

How information is organized depends upon who is organizing it, the type of information, the purpose of preserving the information, who will be accessing the information and the manner in which it will be retrieved. Each of these areas must be taken into account when thinking about organization.

This blog is being created in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for LIS 6260, Information Science in Librarianship. I am a graduate student in the MLIS program at the University of South Florida.

Well, it's interesting that I "happened" upon your blog today while searching for others in the "field of education"...AND to find out that we're neighbors!!

Hope this works out for you and you're able to achieve your goals.
