Course Learning Objective:
Identify conventions of contemporary information organization and storage.
Part I. (10 points)

The question can be anything you’re interested in, but it must be a question that can be answered using contemporary information organization and retrieval tools.

You are simply choosing a question that you can potentially find an answer to using information-retrieval tools like databases, the web, etc.
Part II. (20 points)
Develop an appropriate research plan to help you answer your question. In this section:
a. Identify the steps you will follow in answering your question.
b. Explain what source types there are in the information landscape that could help you answer your question, and fully describe the way those sources are stored, organized, and accessed/retrieved.
c. Determine, and justify, which of those source types you will select and why.
d. Provide step-by-step descriiption of how you will complete your search, ie., what search concepts and keywords will you use; what search tools (ie., databases, card catalogs, the web, librarians, experts, etc.) will you select; what basic and advanced search strategies might you employ, etc.; and finally
e. How will you ethically and responsibly manage and organize the information you’ve gathered.
