Generativity
The preliminary fall 2010 schedule is up, and it looks like I’ll be teaching KM/LIS 5033 again. **does happy dance** I really like teaching this course, as it reminds me of when I was 22, starting the program at Syracuse, and had the great good fortune to have the illustrious Bob Taylor (Dean of the School) as my instructor for the similar course there (IST 501: “The Information Society.”) I think I probably understood only about half of what he was teaching back then, but it had a tremendous impact on me during my subsequent career. All options were wide open to those who saw the value of information! (And I try to keep that same spirit when I teach 5033, though I think it’s a little disconcerting to people who come into the program with a very narrow focus in mind.)
And, of course, I also believe that it’s never too late to become what you were meant to be!
