授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
Information study is an interdisciplinary science with a wide range of interests and goals. A major element in the field is concerned with fundamental information processes such as the acquisition and collection of information, the classification and storage of information, the manipulation and retrieval of information, as well as the analysis, dissemination, usage, and maintenance of information. Although information has attained a very important role in the world around us, it is a concept that is very difficult to define. This course tries to familiarize students with the history and evolution of the field of information study. Students completing the course will recognize the aims and goals of fundamental information processes. They will learn to analyze, evaluate, and appreciate the value information study provides, and they will understand today's information society and modern technology from an information perspective.
到達目標Goal
By the end of the semester, students should: (i) be familiar with the history and evolution of the field of information study, (ii) understand fundamental information processes, (iii) have acquired an understanding about the notion of information from various points of view, and (iv) be able to reason about modern society and modern technology from an information perspective.
