EDIT 6320 Orientation - Dr. Clinton - 11a-1p, including lunch

Reading & Literacy: launch


Group Work
Goals for today: Try to formulate initial groups for the R&L Draft assignment. This seems early, but it is really best to do this in person and as soon as possible -- remembering that you can change groupings for later assignments. Choose format and audience and establish group working procedures.

Wrapping Up: 2:30

Homework: see Planner, Cycle 1
Have you found some potential team-mates today?
Coming up: see Planner calendars
Reading in Grad School - expectations and hints; "required" vs. "supplemental"
Door Prizes


Homework Hints, Cycle 1
Be careful not to let the weeks go by in a rush - it would be easy to think you have a long time to get everything done, but remember this is two or three week's worth of  homework.  Therefore, it's not a good idea to wait until the night before! 


GALILEO hints:
  • finding the password
  • using persistent links
    • sometimes they don't persist, but they will usually take you at least part of the way
    • have the citation on hand to help you navigate

Readings, readings, everywhere!  Yes, I will sometimes flood you with citations.  I want you to have plenty of resources.  However, you are responsible for the ones listed in the Planner.  The others you see (like on the green Content page) are there for further reference.

Good SLMS blogs:

  • Joyce Valenza's blog http://joycevalenza.edublogs.org/

    Buffy Hamilton's  blog  http://theunquietlibrary.wordpress.com
       Or search for these names: Alice Yucht - Alice in Infoland; Rob Darrow - California Dreamin'; Diane Chen: Deep Thinking; Frances Harris: Gargoyles Loose in the Library; Chris Harris: Infomancy; Mary J. Johnson: The Primary Source Librarian; Jacquie Henry: Wanderings.

  • Backup Plan: A. Chat within Wimba Voice Direct - this will probably work even if voice doesn't. Plan B??
  • Tour of Wimba Voice Direct
    • You will need a headset microphone (cheap at BestBuy, will have multiple uses in the longrun)
    • Your task: login, run the setup wizard
    • Using Voice Direct in WebCT instructions:
      1. In the View tab, click on the Voice
      Direct icon you would like to use.
      2. Click on the Setup Wizard icon to
      make sure your computer is ready to
      use Voice Direct.
      3. Click the Hand icon to speak, or to
      wait for your turn.
      4. Click the X icon to release the
      microphone.

Kyle's giveback : finding rare books (for his presentation, go to WebCt 6300/Resources, and open "Rare Books")

Standards and Flexible Scheduling
We introduced this topic - and will pick up with it on Oct 25.

Information Ethics and Copyright

This area is so vast that at least one graduate course could be offered about it. (We have proposed just such a course, to be taught by a lawyer - if offered, you could consider it as an elective.)

Ditto above: introduced the topic, and will pick it up on Oct 25.


1:30 - 2:30 -  Groupwork

2:30 - Wrap up - Trivia, Planner, Looking Ahead and....
The Last Word: Library Dragon - Carmen Deedy (MAF reads)
Bonus tie-in: to get a flavor for Carmen's storytelling, see her TED Talk "Spinning a Story of Mama"

My favorite Deedy book is actually Agatha's Feather Bed.

October 4
"Meeting" 4

Exhibition: Stay home! Log in 9am

due Oct 18: Reading and Literacy Project


Backup Plan:
  • Keep trying, if you can't get on or get in.  Call a classmate.  Watch SLM-L in case I send an urgent message.
  • Don't panic.  We'll archive, in case somebody misses. 
  • If the problem is on my end (like if my cable or power goes out, or WebCT goes down, etc.), carry on with your visits through the Exhibition.  I'll communicate with you through SLM-L or the blog as soon as I can. 

9:00  "Meet" in WebCT Voice Direct
  • I'll have my microphone stuck in the "on" position and play music about 15min before class.
  • Archive on!
  • Tech stuff
    • Primitive interface, probably won't use much, but good for the first try - not so much to pay attention to
    • Interface tour
    • IM me over Skype if you want private chat
    • Have this page open in another window
    • During "class," if you have a quesiton, just click the hand and type it into the chat window.  I'll be happy to respond.
  • Business for the Exhibition
    • Comments
    • "Awards"
  • Business for other things
    • group meetings today?
