Module 9: Monday October 26 to Sunday November 1

This module flips our perspective. Up until now, we have focused on the case in which the information if fairly static, but the queries change all the time. In this module, we will look at the opposite situation, where the information need is fairly static, and the collection is constantly changing. The module is designed to be completed in 12 hours over 7 days. As with every module, you must complete all componentents of this module by midnight on the evening of the indicated end date for the module.
