Information and Knowledge Organization
Information and Knowledge Organization (IKO) is concerned with the standards, processes, practices, and associated technologies for representation and organization of information objects for future access, use, and discoverability in any environment.
There are a number of career paths within the information organization domain. You can select one or can combine more than one to create your plan of study. These include career paths in:
- Archival Description

Whichever path you choose, the core course requirements listed in the Kent State University Catalog Year are required for all students.
