I'm a survivor . . .

[MrFun]

I just got done tonight with a semester of full-time online graduate courses in Library Science while working full-time, and also while taking time to get treatment and counseling for my depression.

I think I the lowest grade I will probably be getting in any of three classes is a B+.

This was crazy **** though - from here on, I'm going to school PART-TIME while I work full-time (whatever my next job will be, when July comes around).

MrFUN with depression? Sorry to hear that...

What's library science?

[ramseya]

to cheer you up:

What's library science?

The study of the Dewey Decimal System.

I never knew there was such a thing as online graduate courses.

The University of Illinois Champaign is well known for its quality Library and Information Science program. I'm participating in their online program known as LEEP; students from all over the country can take classes together. I am enjoying the experience; before this, I've never taken online classes.

Can you explain library science to me?

Wiki is your friend, Asher.

Information technology, archiving, information organization, management, collection development, cataloging, budgeting, and many other areas are studied, with application of practical methods/approaches to these different areas of librarianship.

I never liked the few online courses I tried, it was too much like PBEM.

If anyone tried to work for me who had taken an online course and did not have depression, I would give them depression. They are a blight on the American education system. They are scams that sucker in gullible minimum wage drones from India whose piss security guard jobs allow them access to a laptop.

Adding the word "science" to things that are not "science" could not be any more annoying. Decent schools like Harvard realized this and changed their "political science" departments to "government" departments.

"Library science" takes humanity back about 200 years

The way the classes I take work, is that it's a combination of forum posting/discussion, along with a scheduled time every week for an actual class via chatroom with integrated multimedia features.

Have they taught you the Library Scientific Method yet?
