Should Online Coursework Be a Library School Requirement?
01/02/2012 § 31 Comments
This semester I'm taking 'Distributed Learning Librarianship' online at the University of North Texas. Needless to say online learning is on my mind. In August of last year Rose L. Chou contributed a great HLS post In Defense of Online LIS Education, and Laura Sanders' recent post on Teaching Methods Used in Library School generated some good discussion that included comments about online coursework. I'd like to build on some of the ideas presented in these post and in my class. I feel like every other day I have a conversation with someone about online courses that includes a statement like, "How does that even work?" or "I can't imagine what a class would be like online." This weekend it dawned on me–maybe you can't imagine what an online class is like until you take one. Sometimes I feel like I'm describing driving to someone who hasn't ridden in a car.
There is a growing population of online students in the United States. According to the 2010 Sloan Survey of Online Learning online enrollment experienced an average annual growth rate of 20% from 2002 to 2009. From fall 2008 to fall 2009 there was an online enrollment increase of nearly one million students for a total of 5.6 million students. Many areas of librarianship are affected by these online learners. As one would expect, online students turn to their University libraries for support–but they also use their local public libraries for school-related needs. Additionally, school librarians may be called on by K-12 students taking online classes. As more people choose to learn online, do we need more librarians who know how to serve them? There are many different ways to approach needs assessment—in the case of online learners I'm beginning to think needs assessment should come, in part, from firsthand experience.
I understand that online learning isn't a great fit for every library school student and many people still resist the idea of online courses and degrees. 5.6 million online learners are proceeding anyway. How are we going to educate ourselves to meet their information needs?
I want to know what you think. Do we need to do more to anticipate the needs of online learners in our coursework? How does your school's curriculum address online learning? Should library school students be taking more online courses? Let's discuss.
§ 31 Responses to Should Online Coursework Be a Library School Requirement?
There are definitely frustrations involved in online education. Staying motivated and engaged is a key concern for students. I think as more students turn to online courses (though not all will or should), there will be a greater demand for interactivity and the like.
Motivation has been my main issue with online classes thus far. I tend to go through periods where I cannot convince myself to get up and work, mixed with massive bursts of productivity. I'm not sure it's necessarily the best way to learn for me, but I can see how for plenty of people who are a little better at scheduling their time it would be great.
There are good and bad things about both methods of delivery. In future semesters of the (f2f) library course I teach, I'd like to investigate more hybrid learning models, where students can learn at their own pace through lectures, videos, and tutorials online and use face-to-face time to put those concepts into practice and get clarification.
I think what is most important regardless of whether you take classes online or face-to-face is that you are able to actually engage in librarianship in some meaningful way outside the classroom.
Beyond method of delivery, it also comes down to the teacher. I'm in a number of hybrid classes, and while some professors have really worked to take advantage of the format, delivering the drier material and readings online while utilizing f2f classes for discussion or group projects. Yet for some professors the only difference between f2f classes and online is that the lecture is in person for a two-hour block.
Seems that the hybrid approach also reflects user behavior in general. Independent learning and with some "qualified" guidance along the way. Perhaps I am oversimplifying?
Full disclosure: I am an SJSU SLIS student, and so I have been completing my MLIS in an entirely online environment.
I'd argue that all library school students need some exposure to online coursework – assuming that teamwork is also built into the online course. In my full-time job at a library, I've worked on some projects in which I rarely (and sometimes never) meet with people face to face. Learning how to do teamwork in an online environment is pretty critical to a lot of the work many librarians do in real life.
Eira–you bring up a great point about web-based teamwork. I do a lot of online collaborating at my library job–and for this blog. It's definitely a great skill to acquire while in library school.
I am in a similar situation, Eira. Perhaps completing our degrees in this ways should be added to our CV list of skills?
This is definitely something librarians need to think about, so I'm glad you brought it up! Your post made me think of library instruction sessions, as many new instruction jobs have distance learning as a substantial component of the job responsibilities. I don't think library schools usually do a great job at preparing students for face-to-face instruction (there's only one or two specific pedagogy/education classes offered at IU-B, so most people learn while acting as instruction assistants). Learning how to instruct distance learners would be a whole new challenge. I think instruction should be a required class in library school and I think that the questions you posed in this post should be carefully considered by prospective librarians. The skills required will make you more comfortable presenting, communicating, understanding users, etc…even if you have to instruct via a computer screen. I'm not sure that prospective librarians need to take an online class necessarily, but talking about how distance ed and online learning changes users' needs is vital.
Well said Bri. Even if we're not exposed to online learning we need to be discussing and learning about the needs of online learners. I would also agree that there needs to be more emphasis on instruction.
Online instruction has spread rapidly without showing times of slowing and best practices tend to lag behind. Then again, early online courses were based on face-to-face courses, some of which are arguably low quality in higher education. So those studies that "prove" online can be just as effective as face to face are a bit suspect, though the consensus seems to lie on the side of hybrid courses. But I digress.
I don't think the question is as much about online classes as it is about technology itself. People are averse to or don't understand new mediums. Ideally though, people who want to serve modern society should understand what is possible. In that respect, I agree that people should be taking online classes as a start, but it doesn't guarantee anything if they lack literacy around it or see it as a solution instead of just another tool. How many librarians are still scratching their heads about why their Facebook pages haven't appealed to the broader public despite after several years?
Students and librarians would need to not only take online classes, but reflect and recognize their pros and cons. They need to understand the potential (which is a lot more than some might expect) as well as the limitations (which might be different once understood, since it seems many are only too quick to articulate their negative perceptions).
Interesting to note that the school where I received my MLS – Pratt Institute – does not offer any online classes (at least in their LIS department, cannot say the same for others). The fact that we are primarily an art and design school is a factor in this decision I am sure.
I attend UT Austin which is entirely in-person. We have the opportunity to take online courses through the WISE consortium, which I'm taking advantage of this semester. So far so good, although I can't help but think how ill-suited I am for the online environment. I find myself checking my email, working on other homework, and reading the news through the lectures (I know this can happen f2f, too, but because I know this about myself, I never bring my laptop to f2f lectures).
I also agree about the discussions: discussion boards simply don't allow for invigorating, engaging discussions mostly because there is little room for digressions, which are the most interesting part of a discussion IMO.
That said, as educators we do need to understand the online format, what works and doesn't work, and how to adapt f2f formats for the online environment.
Personally, I think the online classes I've had (which were a Bibliographies class and a History of the Book and Printing) were great for me as a learner. Having never taken ANY online classes during my undergraduate years or my first graduate degree, the experience was, I'll admit, a little daunting. The reason I chose to take online classes for my SLIS degree was out of time/money constraints, and with the transfer credits, I could graduate earlier, yadda yadda, BUT I do think it was an intensely valuable experience for me as a learner, and as a future Librarian.
The discussion IS tough to facilitate online, and even by creating posting requirements, it certainly allows for students to just scrape by without putting as much effort into the experience as they perhaps would in a f2f situation. But, they do offer easy collaboration — one of my classes built a wiki study site together as part of our final project, which was actually a really great exercise and study tool.
Overall, I think it's certainly a good experience to HAVE, but I certainly do not prefer them to the f2f model I'm getting at IU.
I believe online coursework (or at least a hybrid course) should be required parts of MLIS coursework. It's not only an opportunity for us to observe first-hand the difficulties and strengths of the medium, but it's yet another chance for us to be critical and intentional in our praxis – understanding the ways in which theories of information-seeking behavior and information literacy manifest online and are tied to practical aspects of online learning like time management, professional language and writing, etc.
Keeping journals or even publicly discussing not only of how you're absorbing the material and interacting with the topic-at-hand, but also of how you're adjusting to online learning, how your own processing of information in this format is going, etc. can be incredibly helpful as well.
As mentioned in above comments, I agree that the success of an online course depend heavily on faculty and administrators who pour energy and resources into the medium. Professors focused on participating in discussion themselves and developing parameters regarding participation and evaluation can help ensure rote responses and minimal contribution is lessened substantially. I think also taking online courses and encountering a poor online instructor can help our own development as educators and creators of online courses/modules – just as observing a F2F instructor who has minimal interest/effort can encourage us to be better when we might be in such a role.
From a more personal perspective, I think it's important to differentiate between synchronous and asynchronous online courses. I completed my entire MLIS online through Rutgers and all my courses were asynchronous. I think that when facilitated well the asynchronous discussion format can actually contribute to more dynamic discussion than in-person ones. There's plenty of space for tangents (just start a new thread), for re-visiting topics by pointing concretely to previous threads (e.g., check out Rebecca's post on this date at this time) and for further enriching the topic with new resources/URLs and outside/additional readings you've found through intentional or serendipitous searching. For me, the ability to post links and cite readings and lecture to illustrate my points as I'm making them help an incredible amount in my own absorption of the material.
This is always a great discussion to have, and I appreciate the focus. Thanks!
I went to IU Bloomington which was entirely in person. That said, I think that having to take at least 1 course online would have been helpful.
I'm not sure this sort of coursework should be *required* but i am sure it would be beneficial to be exposed to this sort of learning. the business world (the world in which many of us live) already works this way. I've worked for a firm out of my own home–my team was in new york, bucharest, atlanta, and tel aviv. developing people skills which support distance working can only be a good thing.
this sort of thing *will* happen to you once in your career … perhaps more often. getting ready for it now can't be a bad thing.

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyPremenstrual Syndrome Refer to label instructions [1 star]One small study found that 2 tablets twice daily of a dietary supplement containing bee pollen extract and royal jelly may decrease PMS symptoms including water retention, weight gain, and irritability.Prostatitis Refer to label instructions [1 star]In prostatitis patients, preliminary research has found that bee pollen may improve symptoms in some men.
Bee pollen consists of bee saliva and enzymes, mixed with pollen that the bees have brought back to the hive on their bodies. The bees pack the pollen into granules; honey and nectar are sometimes added to the granules. Bee pollen contains small amounts of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Bee pollen will vary from batch to batch and by location, because the pollen component will be unique to the plants the bees have visited. If pollen is collected from residential or farming areas where pesticides and other chemicals are used, these will remain in the final product.
Bee pollen may be confused with honey, honeycomb, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom, though none of these products contain bee pollen. Propolis is a resinous mixture of tree sap, leaves, and botanical matter that bees use to seal small cracks in the hive; royal jelly is secreted by worker bees and fed to bee larva and the queen bee.

Lay's contest winner back in the Northwoods
Submitted: 08/16/2013
Enlarge Image
- Do you remember the Wisconsin contestant for the Lay's chips competition?
The Northwoods most unique millionaire showed off her creation in Rhinelander today.
Karen Weber-Mendham won Frito-Lay's "Do Us a Flavor" contest.
She lives in Land O Lakes.
She was at Trig's in Rhinelander today to meet people and have them sample the new flavored chips.
Karen invented the cheesy garlic bread flavor.
When Karen first found out she won, her reaction was a little muted.
"I never thought that far ahead. I mean the whole thing was such a fun ride, and I got to do all these really cool things," said Mendham.
"We were all getting $50,000. All three contestants were guaranteed that. I never really went that far. So it hasn't sunk in. It still hasn't sunk in."
Karen will either win a million dollars or one percent from sales of her chips.
She says she wants her life to stay the same.
"My life's not going to change. I work at the Land O Lakes Library. I'm a children's librarian and I'm keeping my job, nothing exciting," Mendham said.
"We're gonna spend the money on college for kids, for our three kids."
Karen will be at Trig's in Eagle River next Saturday.

DNR prepares for trout stocking
Submitted: 04/16/2014
- MADISON, Wis. (AP) � The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is working to stock 316,000 trout across the state ahead of inland fishing season opener next month.
More than 100,000 trout will be stocked in urban fishing waters, small lakes and ponds. The rest will go into waters where the habitat is marginal and there's no natural reproduction.
DNR officials say lingering ice cover on lakes is delaying some of the stocking, but they still expect to get all the fish in the water by the May 3 season opener.
A complete list of water bodies in line for fish is available on the DNR's website.

Big bucks to expand nutrition, physical education in Wisconsin schools
Submitted: 04/16/2014
- Seven Wisconsin school districts have been awarded a total of $3.2 million in federal grants to help them expand their nutrition and physical-education programs.
To qualify, the districts have to implement programs that teach students healthy eating habits and good nutrition. They also have to make sure kids have access to certain physical fitness activities, which could include fitness assessments or developing certain team skills.
The largest grant is going to the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, which will receive about $850,000. The Mukwonago Area School District and Pittsville School District will each get about $445,000.

Wisconsin silver alert bill helps save at-risk adults
Submitted: 04/15/2014
Play Video
- Six out of ten people with Alzheimers and dementia will wander off at some point.
That puts them at risk for injury or even death. And not all of those people are found quickly enough.
That's why Governor Scott Walker recently signed a bill that will help find them quicker.
The Wisconsin Silver Alert bill will create a program that works like an Amber Alert for missing children.
An effective alert system is crucial to the Northwoods because of the growing aging population and severe winter weather.
For advocacy groups like the Alzheimer's Association, the new bill is a huge victory.
"Family caregivers of people who have Alzheimers, or another type of dementia are worried and concerned about whether or not their loved one might wander away from home," said Julie St. Pierre, an outreach specialist for the Alzheimer's Association in Rhinelander. "It's very important that those caregivers out there know that there are important resources that can help keep their loved ones safe in the home. The Silver Alert is certainly now a part of that safety net that we have in place."
The Alzheimer's Association was just one group that worked closely with the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network to get this bill passed.
A coordinator for the network believes this system will save lives.
"This bill really advances [us] one step forward in addressing the needs of an aging population. And that's extremely important in the Northwestern part of Wisconsin," said Joe Libowsky, coordinator for the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network. "In the Rhinelander area, where you have fairly severe weather, it makes the urgency of getting out the alert as quickly as possible even more important."
The alert system will heavily involve all 500 law enforcement agencies in the state to respond to at-risk adults who are reported missing.
Wisconsin joins 30 other states with a silver alert system.

Fodor's Buenos Aires
Trade Paperback
Bar Sur
Bar Sur Review
Once a bohemian haunt, this bar went international after serving as a major location for Wong Kar-Wai's cult indie film Happy Together. The move to the mainstream has led to glitzier dancing and increasingly bad food and indifferent service. Still, the worn checkered floor and Old World bar make for a charming backdrop.

Volunteer Information
The Adelanto School District has been working with the Adelanto Police Department to develop a more comprehensive screening process to enable parents and community members to volunteer at schools while better ensuring the safety of its students. School Superintendent, Darin Brawley, said about the process, "We greatly appreciate the Adelanto Police Department and could not have implemented our plan without its dedication and support."
On September 6, 2011, the Board of Education spearheaded the effort toward the district's expanded safety measures and is reported by Brawley as being "grateful for the invaluable service volunteers give to our students and schools. Each trustee credits our volunteers with playing a pivotal role in helping us achieve excellence in education."
In order to conduct more accurate background checks using both local law enforcement and the Department of Justice's databases, the district and the Adelanto Police Department are joining together to use the Live Scan Fingerprinting system to screen all prospective volunteers. Parent volunteers will be screened at no charge. All costs will be paid by the district from designated Parent Involvement Funds.
Volunteers are requested to call Mrs. Lorena Socarras at the district office at 760-246-8691, ext. 0 to schedule their Live Scan Fingerprinting appointment at the Adelanto Police Department, 11613 Bartlett Avenue, Adelanto. Mrs. Socarras will need the volunteer's name and the name of the school chosen for volunteer work. Volunteers will be supplied with a Live Scan Request Form that must be completed prior to and submitted during the scheduled time of the appointment for Live Scan Fingerprinting.

Colorful Carnival T-Shirt
Be ready for your New Orleans style party with this colorful tie-dye T-shirt! Blend the colors from the Neon, Tulip® One-Step Tie-Dye Kit™ for a fun look that will last way beyond Fat Tuesday!
Designed by Suzie Shinseki, courtesy of iLoveToCreate®.
Material List
- Tulip® One-Step Tie Dye Kit™ – Neon
- T-Shirt – White
- Zip Ties
- Plastic Tablecloth
- Spray Bottle with Water
Project Instructions
Machine wash T-shirt in cool water without fabric softener. Dry.
Prepare the following dyes as instructed on packaging: Yellow, Turquoise, Fuchsia and Lime.
Lay shirt on a table which has been covered with plastic. Starting in the center of the shirt, vertically gather the shirt in pleats, starting at the bottom of T-shirt up to top of neck. Bind tightly on either side with zip ties, creating a center band. Tie an additional three zip ties on each side of the center including the sleeves.
Once the T-shirt is prepared, spray some water over shirt to dampen just a bit.
Begin in the center area and apply the Fuchsia dye followed by Turquoise on both sides of center. Squeeze some Turquoise into the Fuchsia to create Purple. Continue the Turquoise to the next tie then squeeze the Lime over parts of the Turquoise to create Green. Next to the Lime, squeeze Yellow keeping the color pure. Then repeat mixing colors going in the reverse; with Yellow blending into the Lime and Turquoise to make a Green, then true Turquoise blending into the Fuchsia for purple.
Carefully turn the T-shirt over and continue to saturate the colors. The goal is to create the Mardi Gras palette by mixing and letting the dye merge into the neighboring color.
Let dye set 6-8 hours.
With zip ties still on, machine wash with cold water and soap. Rinse and remove zip ties.
Dry T-shirt in dryer and press.

How To Handle A Found Syringe
Occasionally, members of the general public may find syringes that have been improperly disposed of or discarded. Syringes are a potential health and safety hazard to those who may encounter them.
The needles on syringes may cause injuries such as cuts, punctures, abrasions, and, if contaminated with infectious organisms, may transmit communicable diseases.
Oregon law requires that syringes be disposed of in a manner that protects public health and safety. Syringes may not be disposed of with other municipal or residential garbage. Individuals found in violation of the law are subject to a civil penalty of up to $500 per occurrence.
The following procedure is intended to provide a method for members of the public to safely and legally dispose of discarded syringes which they may find in their community.
Handling Procedure
Use extreme caution when picking up syringes in order to prevent injury. Do not touch the needle.
It is recommended that syringes be picked up using pliers, tongs, or other similar tools. Additionally, heavy leather or canvas gloves should be worn when attempting to pick up the syringe.
Place the syringe in a rigid, puncture-proof container. The container should have a tight-fitting closure or lid. Containers such as a glass jar with a screw-on lid, a coffee can with a tight-fitting snaplid, or a heavy duty plastic milk jug with a screw-on lid would be acceptable containers. The lid or closure should also then be secured with strong tape.
Transport the container to the nearest drop-off facility. Please call prior to delivery. Call your local Fire Department, if they are not on this list. Most Fire Departments will take found syringes. There is no charge at these facilities for drop-off of syringes found by the general public.
