1. ALA Session on June 23, 2007: Hey, what’s this “Library Think”?! Betsy Martens: No, but librarians do! The March of the Librarians Mr. Abram was our keynote speaker at OLA this year….
30. Betsy Martens: The class had no assigned papers, but did LOTS of assigned reading for “blog fodder.”
31. Betsy Martens: This blog was one of the most fascinating in the class, despite the author’s initial fears of trying it….

39. Betsy Martens: This student is still blogging AFTER class is over (and will probably use it during her portfolio defense)-- hooray!
40. Betsy Martens: As the instructor, I didn’t necessarily *get* this MySpace project design, but I knew that it would work for the target audience, if not for me. (And it obviously did!)
41. Betsy Martens: And this translation is from the blog of an MLIS student in Japan, commenting on one of our class project wikis!
56. Betsy Martens: Running a virtual book group is just as hard as running one in the real world!

58. Betsy Martens: My hope was that the final project would not be thought of as just another class assignment, but as a real information resource for the future. This project clearly shows that mindset.
59. Thanks to all the students in KM/LIS 5433 for their help in making this presentation possible! (And for their suggestions about how to make next year’s class even better. We all “learn by doing” --- including me!) “ Doc Martens”
