COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

      LSC 540 is designed to introduce students to research and other issues in the humanities, as well as some of the more specialized information in this area. This course will emphasize these aspects of folklore, popular culture, literature, music, fine arts, religion, philosophy, the performing arts, and history:

 

 

-         History and development of the field

-         Research

o       Traditional areas of research

o       Emerging areas of research

o       Research methodologies

-         Information needs of

o       Academic researchers

o       Practitioners in the humanities (e.g. artists, musicians, etc.)

-         Librarianship in the specific field

-         Materials in the field

o       The most important materials

o       How to select materials

 

 

 

 

 

Other issues affecting the humanities in general will also be investigated in this course. These issues will include the impact of new information technology, censorship and politics, and new interdisciplinary fields on the humanities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RELEVANCE OF LSC 540 TO OTHER COURSES AND TO THE FIELD

 

  1. It is a necessary course for all future librarians planning to specialize in any area of the humanities.

 

  1. It is an important and useful course for most students specializing in adult reference services in public or academic libraries, especially for those focusing in the humanities and social sciences. It will supplement Library Materials in the Social Sciences, and similar courses.

 

  1. This course will serve as a foundation for more specialized LSC courses in the humanities, such as Administration of Special Collections, Archives and Manuscripts, Introduction to Library Conservation, and Rare Books Librarianship.
