Students majoring in mathematics and statistics need to be information literate both in regard to the information environment in that field, and also more generally for their role as informed citizens. This course will address both of these needs. The literature of the field will take a central place in the course, including identifying an information need, understanding the organization of resource materials and learning how to best tap into them. Students will be introduced to the complexities of the information environment, in the field and in general, and the personal dispositions that will allow them to be flexible and effective when hunting for information. Students will gain experience searching the key research tool MathSciNet, but will also be introduced to appropriate databases, including Web of Science, INSPEC, and more. Only one of U UNL 299 and A MAT 298 may be taken for credit.
