Oreo Librarian in Info Literacy course

I am in the middle of pointing out librarian-stamped new technologies and library-traditional methods of research. I am in the middle of dictation and lectures from talking to students face-to-face, to emailing them electronically, to emailing corrected papers, and finally to blogs of examples and saved blogged articles to the campus hard drive, while praying for those prized handouts.

If only there were a red carpet lining up to the assignments and tests to take without any question of due date, how to open handouts and where do I hand this in?

I can't imagine a course like this one using virtual environments to conduct quizes, homework assignments and final paper and exams. There has to be a consensus among all educators that information literacy ideally is taught to a small class of students who are mandated to meet one-on-one with instructor for mastery of writing, testing and general behavioral standards in the information literacy curriculum.

Nice NYC

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/04/libraries-cutting-back-hours/

Budget times have hit the New York Public Library in a big way. On Wednesday, the library announced it would reduce hours at two-thirds of its 87 locations in Manhattan and the Bronx and on Staten Island after having its financing from the city chopped by $5.9 million in the mayor’s latest round of budget cuts....at a time when most local governments are cutting services and laying off employees, the New York Public Library is expanding hours at some of its branches.

Take it slow.

I recently lost my uncle to illness and found the relationship was a closer match with my life sitution when he died. This is a funny way to find out how close relatives are so vital to long-term relationships especially when the short-term seem to go relatively well. eeWhen my husband of almost 15 years said he wanted a change, we made it so with housing, my changes and personal adjustments too. My family said this was a wonderful move in the end, but it was my uncle who said make it so all along. He advocated change from the beginning. He said that the best time he ever had was having fun and so should we. So we moved. Making a change for the better, we sold our home and rented, then bought another home. We are finally home! The fireplace and others need help with caulking, but all in all we are home and comfy. How was this a closer match when at the end of the move and all of the sudden his life, there are more changes to deal with at once?? I did not know where to turn to but to the holiest of house gods and that was God. How do you deal with so many changes> ???? and the answer came, one at a time!
The tree went on for Christmas and then the ornaments went on the tree, then the dinner and elaborate desserts followed by the cards and distant cousins, calling and so many calls, followed by the cards and songs, readings and jokes, then the "thank you cards" and "happy new year cards" and celebrations.

I am watching the year on a d v d It simply is the best of all times and worst of times, it as is the end of my uncle
and I willl miss him always.
