Joyce Valenza’s Neverending Search

I am just back from the Discovery Educators’ Network National Institute right outside of DC. While I was there, I had an strange chat with Steve Dembo. Strange, because we began brainstorming about where librarians might go with pathfinders in a 2.0 information landscape. I don’t get to talk pathfinders with too many nonlibrarians, but Steve is a landsman of sorts. Anyway, Steve was talking about the potential for using Bloglines as a pathfinder platform.

But on the three-hour drive back to Philadelphia, it became intensely clear to me that every web-based pathfinder I do from this day forward should be a wiki. I got so excited about this clarity that I wrote about the top ten reasons for this shift in my SLJ blog. Because I am concerned about writing the same content for both blogs, please make the extra click to that SLJ post and let me know if you agree.

Also please share any incredible models you’ve already created!

More about what I learned at the DEN in an upcoming post!
