ILS501 Introduction to Information Science and Technology with Dr. Hak Joon Kim

We addressed all of the software issues in the introductory class and had to use all of the features stated above for all subsequent classes in writing papers and projects. We did not need printers per se for online classes however, I did use them to make hard copies of some papers to have on file just in case. Also, for the "Digital Libraries" course with Dr. Liu, we did use printers to scan items into our digital projects.
