Speaking of online learning and education: I came across the Workshops available at Infopeople.org and immediately wished I had the $$ to sign up for the Getting Started With Open Source Software.....from the description Perl/MySQL/MARC/CGI/Hypermail it sounds like an ideal course.
If anyone takes, or has taken an online course, it would be nice to hear more about it!
| Categorized in: Topic: Distance LearningI've never paritipated in fully online distance-learning coursework. Knowing my personality, I don't think I'd get as much out of it as I should. However, if you are the person who could make online learning work for you, perhaps you should look into taking classes the through the Association of Research Libraries Office of Leadership and Management Services (OLMS) Online Lyceum (there's a mouthful).
They offer a number of courses, including Professional Writing, Measuring Library Service Quality, Fund Development, and more. Check out their calendar for a full list of courses available.
