If I were Steve...

I found this course to be one of the most interesting one in the whole MLIS curriculum. For me, it was a very quick introduction to several technologies and related modes of communication which a librarian may use. I am now very comfortable with activities like blog writing and podcasting which until now, I regarded with a combination of awe and mystery. In isolation, I think, each one of these techniques are not very important and likely to be superseded by a better mousetrap next semester. However, the overall shift in paradigm (as far as libraries are concerned) which they represent is quite amazing. It will not surprise me at all if the content of the course is very different next semster from what it is today. If I were to teach this course, I will probably change the emphasis given to certain componets. For example, I found blogs and podcasting very interesting. On the other hand, I am not sure about the real purpose of twitter. But this is only a personal opinion. The course is great as is and leaves little to be desired.
