Schedule
LIS 450II Interfaces to Information Systems

The following outline is intentionally flexible. The first half of the course will consist of lectures, discussions, and readings in an order that reflects the interface design process. The second half of the course will allow us to apply what we have learned and explore specific interface design issues in depth. I’ll be adjusting the schedule based on student interests and needs.
