Starting this week, we’ve created a discussion board for you to use to discuss . . . well, whatever you’d like. I’ll start a thread each week to, hopefully, get the conversation going but you are all authorized to start your own threads as well on whatever topic you’d like.
A few thoughts - If you click on the discussion board link, which is also on the main LIS webpage, you will be directed to a log in screen. The log in has its pros and cons. On the pro-side, it means that only people associated with the U of I will have the ability to post and to read comments on the board, so no spam or advertisements. On the con-side (depending upon your perspective) it means your posts are not anonymous, so realize that while you can say whatever you like, you’re email address will be associated with your words.
The board is not monitored so your comments will be immediately posted. I don’t intended to censor your posts but I do reserve the right to remove anything that is blatantly inappropriate.
You will log in using the same Net ID and password but, since this is a U of I system, rather than a UIS system you will need to include @uis.edu with your NetID – so, use your email address rather than your NetID.

Good Podcast! Where is the discussion board so I can log in correctly?

You're so accustomed to looking here, you found the podcast before I'd even gotten everything ready:) I'm working on the details now so look for the email going out on Wed. morning.
Andy,
Sorry I got ahead of the plan.

Andy, just getting caught up on the podcasts. Very helpful and informing. I am going to try and do the summary at the end of each class while everything is fresh in my mind. Thanks for your help.
Andy, this was such an informative podcast (as always) and I so appreciate you sharing your knowlege with us. I am looking forward to LIS 451, but I can honestly say that I did have some prior apprehension about the class's expectations. You have simplified it for us making it easier to understand what is expected of us and what we should do to make it flow smoother for our own benefits. You named off something that we should do that I was totally oblivious to, which was to keep our books and not sell them at the end of the semester. Now, I knew to keep all of my notes, syllabi, and other materials from class, but because of getting money back from selling my textbooks, I had no idea that I should've been keeping them. Thanks for putting the idea in my head not to sell, but to keep them for use in LIS 451. This would make an incredible source to revert back to when we're writing our paper. Thanks again!!!
