The Comic as Object Project

PLO 6: Production of Knowledge

Students will be able to analyze and synthesize the concepts of knowledge, information, and communication; and to critically examine, assess, and make recommendations as to how these concepts and principles are applied in various information environments, including the web.

Just wanted to include this project as a bonus artifact because it was one of my favourite projects. A study of both published research and several primary sources, The Comic as Object Project also reflects the diversity of subject matter that I was able to tackle as part of this program.

A product of LIS 518: Comic Books and Graphic Novels in School and Public Libraries, The Comic as Object Project built on my existing interest in the book as object and the history of the book with the exploration of a genre / category of library resource with which I was not previously that familiar.
