" Both arXiv and archive.org are invaluable projects which, if they didn't exist, we would dismiss as obviously ridiculous and unworkable." A record five WS-DL classes are offered for Spring 2019: CS 432/532 Web Science is taught by Alexander Nwala , Thursdays 4:20-7:00pm.  This class explores web phenomena with a variety of data science tools such as Python, R, D3, ML, and IR.  CS 725/825 Information Visualization is taught by Dr. Michele C. Weigle , Wednesdays 9:30am-12:15pm. This class will explore the background and tools needed to develop effective visualizations through analyzing existing visualizations and visualization problems. CS 734/834 Information Retrieval is taught by Dr. Jian Wu , Tuesdays & Thursdays, 9:30-10:45am.  This class will explore the theory and engineering of information retrieval in the context of developing web-based search engines. CS 795/895 Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is taught by Dr. Sampath Jayarathna , Tuesdays...

Two Web Science & Digital Library ( WS-DL ) courses will be offered in Fall 2016:  CS 418/518 " Web Programming ", Tuesdays 4:20-7:00 pm (CRNs 16680 & 16681 ), will be offered by Dr. Justin F. Brunelle .  This will be an updated version of CS 418 last taught in Spring 2015 by Mat Kelly .  This class is currently full, but watch for openings. CS 734/834 " Introduction to Information Retrieval ", Thursdays 4:20-7:00 pm (CRNs 15028 & 15038 ) offered by Dr. Michael L. Nelson .  This will be an updated version of the same course most recently taught in Fall 2015 .  Note that Dr. Michele Weigle is not teaching this semester.  Obviously there is demand for CS 418/518, but if you're considering CS 734/834 you might be interested in this student's quote from a recent exit exam: [and] Dr. Nelson’s Information Retrieval course are the two which I feel have prepared me most for job interviews and work in the working world of computer science...

The Web Science and Digital Libraries Group is offering three classes this fall.  Unfortunately there are no undergraduate offerings this semester, but there are three graduate classes covering the full WS-DL spectrum: CS 695 - NoSQL Databases (CRN 21159 ) will be offered by Dr. Cartledge .  While we've used NoSQL databases in a variety of classes in the past, this is the first time we've offered a class entirely on this topic.  This is a good complement to the CS 495/595 Big Data class he offered last spring.    CS 734/834 - Introduction to Information Retrieval (CRNs 19986 & 20004 ) will be offered by Dr. Nelson .  Although the number and name have slightly changed, this will be similar to previous offerings of this class (e.g., see CS 895 spring 2014 ).   This class will broadly cover the foundations of information retrieval .   CS 791/891 - Visualization Seminar (CRNs 12619 & 12620 )will be taught by Dr. Weigle ....
