Take a class with me!

by | Feb 18, 2007 | 0 comments

It’s that time again — I’m teaching another online class with the lovely folks at Simmons College through their Continuing Education program!

This time around I’m doing it solo (though many thanks to the fantastic Beth Gallaway and Linda Braun for being my co-teachers in the past) and it’ll be pretty much the new and improved version of my in person workshops and lectures. The cool part is that I get a full month to really delve into everything, so I won’t have to talk a mile a minute (which I do anyway) and we as a class can actually take time to get into the nitty gritty questions of graphic novel collection development.

If you’ve never tried it, online classes are a great way to learn — I did my entire library degree that way, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I still maintain it was one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had.

The class is
Isn’t Otaku a Kind of Sushi: Graphic Novels, Manga and Anime (from May 1-31st)
