Further, they need a foundation in the different KO strategies ideal for use by organization, humans, and machines. In this course, students will learn the core concepts and principles of describing, grouping, arranging and relating information-bearing objects for different audiences. Though much of the semester focuses on the arrangement of documents and bibliographic information, this course additionally covers the organization of museum objects and their catalogs, biomedical data and records, and beyond.
