Library and Information Science Fields

From GSLISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This list was started on Ingbert's Social Informatics Field Exam Reading List Worksheet and now exists here so that people can add to it, refine it, edit it, annotate it, etc.

The readings in some of these sections are of higher quality, and are more targeted, than others.

For people who are using this list to take their field exam, here is an explanation of the codes:

  • SI-F means that the reading has appeared on a previous social informatics field exam reading list.
  • C means that the reading has appeared on the old core reading list
  • SI-S means that the reading has appeared on the syllabus for the seminar in social informatics.
    • SI-S1 means that the reading appeared on the syllabus of the first seminar in social informatics.
  • The abbreviations for the different fields for the field exam are as follows. It should be noted that this list is constantly changing, and that faculty typically do not bother to tell us when the list changes.
    1. H = History of Libraries and of Library/Information Science
    2. SI = Social Informatics
    3. UU = Uses and Users of Information
    4. CLY = Children's Literature and Youth Services
    5. IOA = Information Organization and Access
    6. IP = Information Policy
    7. ISR = Information Storage and Retrieval
