David Weinberger of the Berkman Center posted this video of Harvard library staff and users talking about digital libraries.
There are great opportunities for better integration of MD Anderson's instructional technologies with its library technologies and services. We took some small steps earlier this year when Research Medical Library and Academic Technology Services staff worked together to synchronize library and technology orientation for new students in the School of Health Professions (SHP). Clara Fowler, Library Manager, is using Sakai to teach a course at SHP and a Sakai project site is being used as a library resource container for SHP students. Another project in the planning phase involves use of Sakai and Adobe Connect for an online course with both synchronous and asynchronous components, including library information. More on that project in a future post.
