What a perfect tie in to our work in LIS701 last night. A few students shared stories that I just couldn’t believe of policies and rules at their institutions and the lack of human conversation that surrounded them. http://www.socialcustomer.com/2007/12/conversation-is.html My take: “Conversation” is just that…communication between actual human beings.

http://gslistoolbar.wordpress.com/ The third group developed a toolbar for the Dominican GSLIS! Students, faculty and staff can download and install the toolbar for instant access to LIS resources. I have officially melted into a puddle on the floor.
The second group designed a Ning network for a university library! http://l2university.ning.com/ They tried to get the ads removed but never heard back from the Ning folks. Take a look. I am impressed!
