462 - Readings
I read everyone's readings yesterday - it was actually a lot of fun. I placed my comments as a comment on whichever one was the last reading. I will do this again in November for the next round. I was hoping that this assignment would give you a chance to get the bigger picture, as we tend to focus on the components in class, and also to integrate thie bits and pieces which this course and your other courses and your work experience throw at you piecemeal. Largely I think this assignment is succedding in doing that. I noticed two related points raised by a number of you - grantwriting and business models. I will try to address these if I can. Also, I see that these readings have given many of you a chance to think about the future of libraries in general, and what kinds of changes you should be getting ready to initiate if we are all to survive.
