Learning Online for Librarians; Copyright; "Avoid the Conflict Trap"

Online learning is on my mind again--or still. I'm doing more wrap-up and follow-up to the online conference, and planning Computerside Chats and other online classes--along with in-person workshops. And I've been doing some online and self-paced learning myself, outside of strictly library-related subjects. Being more aware of other companies' and agencies' values around learning is helping me as we plan more online offerings

As I'm exploring lifelong learning opportunities, of all sorts, on topics directly related to librarians, those not directly related, I felt a need to gather and organize information--and my thoughts and ideas. And, being a *hopefully) good Librarian 2.0 I've started a blog for and about librarians learning online. I won't repeat the thoughts I've recorded there, but I invite you to visit the blog, and keep checking back. I will share sources and resources for continuing and lifelong learning, specifically online opportunities, as well as some of my thoughts about online learning. The blog is at learnonlibrarians.blogspot.com (That's for "Learning Online for Librarians"....) I hope you'll feel free to comment on the blog, too. Share your ideas and experiences and resources--or questions. (I've already had a comment on the first post, from a gentleman who isn't a librarian, but had a good link for me to check out...comments on blogs are a wonderful way to converse with others, and share ideas and thoughts. That's all part of lifelong learning, too...) See you at the LearnOn blog! --Karen
