Our last class is Wednesday and this will probably be my last 511-related post. To be honest I am not sure if I will keep up with the Blog...Maybe I will, but turn it into something else? But I will miss Dave's lectures. He is passionate about what he believes in and makes you sit on the edge of your seat weather you agree with his opinions or not.
Also, in the beginning of the course I was pretty sure I wanted to become an Academic librarian, although now I am also considering Public. The different librarian guest speakers we had were great! (Some were more exciting than others. LOL)
Overall it was good experience. I will miss the classroom experience since next semester I will be taking an on-line course. Good Luck to all my classmates and happy holidays!

Online Class
So no actual class this week. Kinda bummed, as I always like Daveheart's lectures. Really surprised on how fast the class went this semester. I have learned so much about librarianship, and technology. The former- I am as excited about as I ever was, and the latter, well, I still am not uber thrilled about learning "techie" stuff but not as overwhelmed as I was before. OK, I am off to view those links in the LMS. Happy Turkey-Day to all!

No one likes Whoppers...
Quick thought on last nights class...E-Science, not for me.
Another quick thought...Damn it I wish I sat on the right side of the room cause the left side got stuck with Whoppers.
Quick thought number 3...Thatcher? Really? She helped spur the soft-serve ice cream movement? Off to the internet to track that info down.

511 Discussion Board
I really like the Scared, Nervous, or Anxious board on the LMS. Sometimes I read what other have posted and I think "I am so glad someone asked that!" Some questions are point blank like "Where do we get information on ALA Membership?" Others are more like..."My blog sucks!"
This week I really connected to the person who posted that they are feeling disconnected. I am also feeling a little disconnect, but I am thinking that it is because I have not matriculated. I am taking IST 511 to really see if I want to pursue my Masters degree in Librarianship. I already have a MS in Counseling and I really love my job, and I have had a fulfilling and rewarding career. I work at SU and have the opportunity to take classes for free, so why not pursue a second degree. (I also obtained my first Masters without having to take out a student loan by working at a SUNY college and receiving my degree at a SUNY college.)
At this point I think that I would enjoy a second career as a librarian. But I, like the poster, don't know if I should apply to the distance-program or take on-campus classes.
I have gone over the pros and cons a million times and I feel that practically, taking the distance program would work better for me, but in my heart I know I would miss the "in-person" classes.
Any words of wisdom for me, fellow IST 511'ers?
