The Electronic Portfolio (e-Portfolio) option is one of two ways (see also Thesis) in which a student may satisfy the University's requirements for a culminating experience. The goal of the e-Portfolio is to provide a program-based assessment to ensure that each student demonstrates mastery of all student learning outcomes (core competencies) for the degree before graduation. For a list of the core competencies, see: slisweb.sjsu.edu/slis/competencies.htm. Students selecting the e-Portfolio option as opposed to the thesis option should register for LIBR 289: Advanced Topics in Library and Information Science. LIBR 289 is a 3-unit formal graduate course; students should thus expect to devote a minimum of 135 hours to developing and refining their e-Portfolios. The three credits for this course count toward the total of 42 (or 43) units required for the MLIS degree. Successful completion of the course will result in a Credit grade being given for LIBR 289.
LIBR 289 is administratively coordinated by the SLIS Associate Director, Dr. Linda Main. Responsibilities of the associate director as LIBR 289 Course Coordinator include assigning e-Portfolio advisors, maintaining the course handbook, serving as instructor of record, posting the grades assigned by e-Portfolio advisors, and managing the process of problem resolution, as needed.
