hyperlinked libraries: virtual symposium
DESCRIPTION
My reflections and thoughts on LIS 287, Hyperlinked Libraries, a graduate course in library science. Hyperlinked Libraries engage, support and challenge users to share and create knowledge in exciting ways. “The potential connections are vast. Hyperlinks are the connections made by real individuals based on what they care about and what they know, the paths that emerge because that’s where the feet are walking, as opposed to the highways bulldozed into existence according to a centralized plan.”TRANSCRIPT

What
to c
hoose
? Each week I got caught up in engaging, significant
ideas that will make me think throughout
my career.
Remember Scope, Scale and Speed?
I’ve had a chance to
review and consider Michael Edson’s ideas.
With the internet we can
do large scale outreach as
never before.

I’d forgotten about this amazing idea.
An event when people can “check out”
real experts in the community.

MOOCs are great, but Tend to be through
universities Need for lower level MOOCs Here and abroad
Great need worldwide for
skills taught in K-12 Great opportunity for adults
who didn’t get K-12 and
don’t necessarily want a
university education – just
want to learn what they
want to learn.
To R

ist I’ll definitely read
Shirky, Keen and Morozov’s books and
continue to follow what Lessig’s up to.
Having the whole picture is essential to
a professional.

giddy over new products and services.
I need to force myself
to seek out divergent,
even opposing views.
