Interaction Diary Assignments

We interact with information every day. Sometimes we initiate the interaction by looking for information that will answer a question or solve a problem; sometimes the interaction is initiated by someone who wishes to communicate something to us; and sometimes we "bump into" or stumble upon information that we were not looking for or that may not have been intended for us specifically, but makes an impression or changes our way of seeing things.

Three interaction diary assignments have been designed to help you focus on the three kinds of interaction described above.

1. Information Seeking  Due: September 11

2. Information Discovery  Due: October 11

3. Review  Due: November 20
