Notes de l'éditeur
- You wouldn’t believe how much easier it is to find classes in other buildings using the GPS-based mapping tool in the m.UW app. It exists for both iOS and Android. It has other functions too, like a full course catalog and UW news, but the map is what I use most.
- Not all courses offered every term (long-term course “outlook” available for download from here: http://ischool.uw.edu/courses/schedules)Though we don’t have individual advisors, professors are often happy to talk with/give informal advice, particularly if you share common interests. Check out their individual bios and websites. UW course catalog for all departments: http://www.washington.edu/students/crscat/
- Subject guides: LIS (http://guides.lib.washington.edu/libraryscience) & IM (http://guides.lib.washington.edu/informationmanagement)ResearchWorks: http://researchworks.lib.washington.edu/Research101:http://www.lib.washington.edu/uwill/research101/LIS Periodicals: http://www.lib.washington.edu/subject/LibrarySci/dr/eljnl.htmlHow Do I?: SHORT VIDEO TUTORIALS ON finding resources, citation, using databases, staying current, using Google, etc. (http://guides.lib.washington.edu/howdoi)
