Welcome to the class blog for LIS 446 Fall 2015. I use the blog to post articles of interest that I come across during the semester and we will use it to post your assignments.  There is a link to the blog from the Moodle page in case you forget the address (446fall15.blogspot.com).

Several assignments during the semester will require you to post your work on this site. This enables you to see each other's work and also means that you can write in a slightly less than academic idiom - but you will still need to do things like include footnotes and proper citations as required, check spelling and grammar accuracy, and write clearly and concisely.

It feels like we are getting a late start to the semester but I know once  we get started it will go by very fast. I look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you through the semester. I hope that the class will give you a new understanding of the complexities of the documentation of works of art, whether in the context of a museum library or archive, an academic or a public
library, or any of the many other venues where art is cared for.
