Publish or Perish: From Monks to MOOCs

Announcing IST600: Publish or Perish: From Monks to MOOCs, a new class I am putting together for next semester (on campus). It is meant for masters and doctoral students interested in the evolution of scholarly publishing. Here’s the description:

From academic librarians to independent consultants to doctoral students, information professionals have an amazing range of publishing options to use to build their reputation ands the reach of their ideas. This course will cover the practicalities of working with publishers, self-publishing including hands on projects, publishing apps, the evolution of the information publishing market, and disseminating ideas through MOOCs.

So if your looking for a 3 credit course for the spring, come join us Tuesday mornings 9:30 to 12:15. Also, if you’d like to share in person or via Skype (I’m looking at you journal and book editors) let me know.
