LIS 605 Special Topics
This course offers an opportunity for elective doctoral seminars on different topics, and is designed to respond to current issues and interests. Each seminar topic must be approved by the Committee on Doctoral Studies before it is offered, and must be reapproved if it is repeated. The Doctoral Committee will bring each topic proposal to the Curriculum Committee for discussion prior to making a final decision. This course is open to master's students with the permission of the instructor. Each seminar will contain the following elements: (1) Focus on a narrow and clearly -defined topic which is not taught as a course in the master's program. (2) Focus on theoretical analysis and reflection. (3) A reading list at an appropriate level for doctoral studies. (4) A final paper suitable for publication in a peer reviewed journal, or some other form of creative output.
