Introduction to Internet Resources and Services is a formal and multi-disciplinary introduction to the "community of networks" known as the Internet. The student initially will learn the fundamentals of how the Internet operates and how to use it effectively, and then build upon this foundation to become an active and productive participant in this electronic community. The Internet is not merely the topic of this class. It will be an integral part of the learning experience. Conventional classroom lectures and assignments will be complemented by activities mediated through the Internet. We will consider many different aspects of the net, ranging from engineering operations to business opportunities to social and political concerns. We recognize, however, that the library and information science professional has a special responsibility as the intermediary and facilitator to information. Therefore, we shall pay particular attention to the methods for discovery, evaluation, organization and presentation of information on the net.
