1212 - Summary/Objective
1213 -
121301 - Follow up ref SDS 34 0000, ref SDS 33 0000.
121302 -
121303 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Michael Crusoe, who expressed interest
121304 - a few days ago in using SDS.
121305 -
121306 - Michael cites my prior letter saying that SDS requires training and
121307 - support. ref DRT 1 2P6N  I, also, referenced Michael to the proposal,
121308 - ref DIP 5 016P, for the DKR team to use SDS in the letter on 001121.
121309 - ref SDS 35 XU8I
121310 -
121311 - Michael is a self-sufficient user - a manual is generally adequate for
121312 - him.  He understands SDS may be too complex for people to learn on
121313 - their own. ref DRT 1 NS7J
121314 -
121315 - Michael is finishing his last semester of High School.  Next year he
121316 - expects to attend Arizona State University because he can afford that
121317 - school. ref DRT 1 WW9J
121318 -
121319 - His declared major is Computer Science, but he wants to focus on
121320 - information and library sciences.  He plans to transfer out of ASU as
121321 - soon as he can get funding to go to a better school, preferably
121322 - Stanford. ref DRT 1 ZX9N
121323 -
121324 - He is working with librarians and technical personal at the high
121325 - school.  He has always been interested in the library sciences and
121326 - associated information science concepts. ref DRT 1 PX4I
121327 -
121328 -     How does Michael define "library science," relative to knowledge
121329 -     management, epistomology, taxonomy and ontology.
121330 -
121331 - Eventually he would like to tackle the definition of knowledge
121332 - question.  He does not expect a concrete answer, but the field is
121333 - rather sparse and nobody else has anything really good yet..
121334 - ref DRT 1 PY4O
121335 -
121336 -     It would be interesting to see how Michael's colleagues in the
121337 -     library at school define information and knowledge.
121338 -
121339 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 suggesting Michael comment on "knowledge"
121340 - already in the record.
