If you’re interested in checking out the syllabus from my spring Online Social Networks class, you can find HTML and PDF versions linked from my teaching page. This course is a little bit of a departure from the previous two versions; I’m focusing a little more on practice-oriented challenges (OSN’s and LIS, OSN and Education, etc). This is made possible by the large volume of literature that has come to press in recent years. It is also due to the fact that LIS grads are being asked to explore/research/manage social web applications in their jobs, and I hope to provide some of the tools and familiarity necessary for them to do so.
As always, if you’d like to follow along you can find lecture notes and slides linked from our course webpage. Feedback, paper recommendations, etc. are always welcome – either send them to me or tag them in delicious with inls490.
