I really want to find a way to use this in class



Especially after a new stretch of teaching semi-comatose students how to use the online catalog. Trouble is, we're living in a hybrid world. That catalog and its funky old categories lead to 10-whopping-million volumes. There's just too much good stuff there to ignore. So I try to make it more appealing by using ten-dollar words like metadata. Sometimes it even works.

Thanks, Alice, for the lead to Michael Wesch's Digital Ethnography project at Kansas State University.

That's awesome... that must have taken a while to make.

I think that should be the official video for our getting rid of the card catalog. Hehe.
