William McGrath (School of Information and Library Studies, 309 Baldy, SUNY at Buffalo, 14120) has created an ES knowledgebase (KB) for advising students on what courses to take for a projected plan of study in library and information science, particularly in reference to the student's specific career objective. The KB, created with 1stCLASS ES shell, considers the type of job environment (academic, public, corporate, sci-tech) and type of work (collection development, cataloging, information retrieval, management, etc.), prerequisites, hours needed to complete the program, need for faculty permission, and other factors. Planned modules: advice for resolving schedule conflicts, list of job prospects -- given the student's program, feedback and evaluation.
