| THE COURSE IS INTERDISCIPLINARY BY NATURE, IT MOVES FROM REFLECTION ON THE LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT OF UNIVERSAL COMPUTER, THE SO-CALLED ALGEBRA OF THOUGHT, ON WHICH PHILOSOPHERS AND LOGICIANS SUCH AS LEIBNIZ AND BOOLE, FREGE AND CANTOR, GÖDEL AND TURING HAVE FOCUSED; IT CONTINUES THROUGH THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MAIN STAGES OF THE HISTORY OF HYPERTEXT, A CONCEPT THAT THANKS TO THE INTUITION OF BUSH, LICKLIDER AND NELSON HAS CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO DEFINE THE IDENTITY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE ITSELF AND HAS INSPIRED THE INVENTOR OF THE WEB BERNERS-LEE; IT CONCLUDES WITH AN ANALYSIS OF TOOLS AND RESOURCES (OPAC, ELECTRONIC JOURNALS, OPEN ARCHIVES, E-BOOKS, DATABASES) OF THE DIGITAL DOCUMENTARY UNIVERSE, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PHILOSOPHICAL SOURCES AVAILABLE ONLINE AND THE SERVICES OFFERED BY THE WEBSITE OF THE LIBRARIES OF THE UNIVERSITY. A PART OF THE COURSE WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE INFORMATION LITERACY AND TO THE TRAINING IN THE USE OF WIKI PLATFORMS. |
