Professor/Course Ratings! READ

When you first start out in the program, I don't care how seasoned you are with Social Media, Blogs, RSS Feeds, Web 2.0 you name it--there is just too much out there to sign up for. By now you've probably figured out Facebook has a few SLIS specific groups. You've probably signed up for Google+. You've probably even looked into Second Life. If you don't know what I'm talking about. Don't worry about it. You don't need it, really.

What you DO need to know about is this Yahoo group: SJSU MLIS.

What is it? It's a database comprised reviews on specific professors and classes taught at SJSU SLIS's program. If you have a Yahoo account, you can sign in that way, otherwise you can also sign in via your Facebook or Google account. Check out the Database link in the left hand nav-bar and locate: "Course/Professor Recommendation". To date, there are currently 2,338 submissions to help you in your quest in choosing a professor/course to meet your learning preferences.

In my personal experience using this resource, I've found it to be an invaluable source--and most always spot on. Try it out for a spin!
