Opintojakso suoritetaan joko 1) kirjatenttinä tai  2) esseenä.

1. Kirjatentti

Kirjallinen tentti on suoritettavissa sähköisen tenttipalvelun kautta. Huom! Kirjallisessa tentissä suoritetaan ainoastaan tenttikirjat (Case, Pauleen & Gorman, ja Savolainen), ei artikkelilukulistalla lueteltuja artikkeleita!

2. Essee

Esseesuorituksia voi palauttaa tarkastettavaksi koko lukuvuoden ajan. Esseeohjeet saa vastuuopettajalta.

Esseevaihtoehdossa laaditaan referaatti teoksista:

• Case, Looking for information. A survey of research on information needs, seeking and behavior. 3rd revised ed. Bingley, UK: Emerald, 2012.
• Pauleen & Gorman (Eds), Personal knowledge management. Individual, organizational and social perspectives. Farnham, UK: Gower, 2011.
• Savolainen, Everyday information practices. Lanham, MD: The Scarecrow Press, 2008.

Lisäksi laaditaan referaatti kolmesta (3) vapavalintaisesta artikkelista alla olevalta lukulistalta. Artikkelit kannattaa valita siten että ne tukevat muita kursseja, erityisesti pro gradu –tutkielman tekemistä.

Artikkelit ovat luettavissa ja kopioitavissa open access -lehdistä (esim. Information Research) tai yliopiston kirjaston hankkimista ”lisensoiduista” e-lehdistä.
