INFO 289: Advanced Topics in Library and Information Science (e-Portfolio)
Student Handbook
The culminating experience for our MLIS program requires students to select, document, and assemble evidence of their competence in a series of skill areas the faculty have deemed essential for entry-level professional performance.
The Electronic Portfolio (e-Portfolio) option is one of two ways (see also Thesis) in which a student may satisfy the University’s requirements for a culminating experience. The goal of the e-Portfolio is to provide a program-based assessment to ensure that each student demonstrates mastery of all program learning outcomes (core competencies) for the degree before graduation. For a list of the core competencies (program learning outcomes), see: Core Competencies.
Students selecting the e-Portfolio option as opposed to the thesis option should register for INFO 289: Advanced Topics in Library and Information Science. INFO 289 is a 3-unit formal graduate course; students should thus expect to devote a minimum of 135 hours to developing and refining their e-Portfolios. The three credits for this course count toward the total of 43 units required for the MLIS degree. Successful completion of the course will result in a Credit grade being given for INFO 289.
INFO 289 is administratively coordinated by Dr. Jen Sweeney. Responsibilities of the INFO 289 Course Coordinator include randomly assigning e-Portfolio advisers, maintaining the course handbook, serving as an instructor of record, posting the grades assigned by e-Portfolio advisers, and managing the process of problem resolution, as needed.
