Starting in the fall 2018, S500 will replace S401. Changes to the course include content and format. LIS thought and theory is included and integrated to complement the tool-based knowledge focus of the course. With regards to format, the course is no longer self-paced and is now feedback intensive.
Existing students who have taken S401
If you have already taken S401, do not take S500. You have met this requirement. You are grandfathered in, so to speak.
Courses that once required S401 will now require S500. These courses are interchangeable with regards to meeting prerequisite requirements.
Existing Students who have NOT taken S401.
If you are an existing student, you are now required to take S500. You should plan to take this course in fall 2018. S401 will not be offered again.
New students starting in Summer/Fall 2018
S500 is to be the first course you take. You can take this course in conjunction with other courses but it should be taken your first semester in the program.
If you have any questions, please contact your advisor.
