This is a good article that addresses many of the issues we raise in INFS 1000 - production and creation of information, access to information, homogenization of available resources, etc. I encourage you to read it.

Can I get an incomplete?
I have forgotten who I have told and who I haven't told, but in the interest of communicating to all my students, you should all know that my Mom is back in the hospital and is not doing well.
She came with me to Minnesota on 11/19, and went into the hospital on 11/24. Her liver is failing and she is not responding positively thus far to the medical interventions that have been given. The next couple of days will be key for her, but honestly, I think she has given up. So, she is dying. Whether she dies in the next week or so or over the next few months is still in question. But there it is.
I know this has been a frustrating semester for all of you and that I have not been able to be as attentive as you and I would both like. I am doing my best to balance my work and family responsibilities, but am probably failing a little at both. Maybe that's the best I can hope for at this point. I hope I'm also succeeding a little. :) Maybe? If nothing else, I hope you feel I have been honest with you throughout and have kept you informed to the best of my abilities.
Please continue to email questions to me; I will respond fastest to those. I am also in the office (at this point) each day this week and will do my best to meet with you if that is helpful.
Thank you to all for your continued support, patience, and understanding.
