Brown re-education podcast

I found this Brown chapter very timely with this class as I am learning things I had not intended to learn. Listen to my podcast if you want to hear more about my take on Brown's re-education chapter.

Librarything versus Shelfari

I found Librarything to be a bit more formal than Shelfari, due mostly to its cataloguing access with "Amazon ,the Library of Congress and 78 other world libraries." Similar to Shelfari in its book club capacity, bookmarking favorites and networking, Librarything also gives a listing of discussion groups based upon subject, gebresm authors, etc., that can be viewed and/or joined by linking. LT also allows anyone to create a new group and offers tagging tips and additional library data on several of its blogs.

Team 6 Collaboration

Working on this as a group was very interesting. Seeing edits being done simultaneously was very cool. Makes me see how beneficial a wiki would be to a family scattered all over the world who want to keep in touch and keep the family history alive. To see what our group created regarding the internet movie database , which I discovered to be a fascinating site, click on the link below.

Learning by Doing

Upon reading Brown's article, Learning-in Theory and in Practice, I realize that the many points he makes about learning through both books and hands-on are the best tools for any profession, librarians or otherwise.
* While organizations have replaced seasoned employees with those
right out of college, have they

(a) saved lots of money on younger and less expensive employees

OR (b) eliminated the know-how of long-term experience?
Listen to my short podcast to hear what I think about this shift.
