Hey everyone – I’ve had the flu since Thursday. I am a bit behind – email me if you need anything today and I’ll grade all your exercises tomorrow. Everyone take a big breath and we’ll start our projects this week.

Class chats next week! Just posted about them at the blog.

Hey all – just posted about this week’s assignments. This is probably our busiest week – if you have questions or need anything please contact me or post here. If you run into any difficulty, let me know and we will work it out!

Happy Spring Break everyone!

Hey all! I am heading to airport soon to fly to Phoenix for a presentation tomorrow. Email me if you need anything and I will reply as soon as I can.

saw this blog article and immediately thought about this class. The article relates how the original website for the Movie ”space jam” (circa 1996) is still up and is a dazzling look into the past of web design. It helped me put my own efforts into perspective.

Hey all! I’ll be in class all weekend with the PhD students. If anyone needs anything, shoot me an email and I’ll reply asap.

The #6 exercises I’ve received so far are knocking me out!

Just came across this interesting article on Slate.com:
http://www.slate.com/id/2285354/
about Google’s new Public Data Explorer tool, which the author sees as a possible step towards a universal format for numerical data on the web. Seems very relevant to the Semantic Web and discussions of interoperability, and possibly for any academic libraries involved with scientific scholarly publishing.

Note: Please remember this is an ongoing part of the class.

Module Discussions
Over the course of the term, you will write 5 reflections on selected module topics. Posts should be a minimum of 200 words. Well-executed posts will include links, your own thoughtful reflection and commentary about the readings, and whatever else you come across while exploring the topic. Note: Label your posting as Posting #1, Posting #2, etc.

Note: Part of the goal of the Module Discussions is to provide an ongoing discourse among the course participants. You should stay engaged in the discussions throughout the semester. Students who wait until the end of the term to make the majority of their postings and responses will lose points due to lack of engagement.

Students should read the module resources, compose and post brief personal reflections and also read/respond to other students. This creates our class conversation online. Grading will be done for overall engagement and quality of reflections as a whole. (15 points)

Just finished all of your assignments – GREAT work folks. You are moving well through each exercise. Make sure to follow directions, read each step and pay attention to little details.

Hey all – I was on deadline for a column today and got behind and now I am traveling the rest of the day. Will grade tomorrow morning. Sorry!

Hey all – forgot to tell you I have been teaching LIS768 all weekend, then I’ll be driving home to Indiana. Thanks for all the early submissions. Email questions and I’ll answer as soon as I am home.

Hey all – the exercises start to ramp up this week. You’ll be creating external stylesheets. Make sure you allow enough time to the exercise. It sets the stage for the next set of exercises focused on styling and formatting.

Hey all – I’m presenting at the Ela Area PL staff Day tomorrow – leaving Indiana around 5am CST and driving in…will be away from email for most of the morning and early afternoon. Will reply asap if you have ?s. Thanks for all the early submissions of #3!
