Boys are having a "slumber party" (just the two of them) in the family room tonight. Item number 3 on Mr. 7's list (he has a list. on a clipboard) is "rock and roll dance party," and the music had to be on vinyl. "Dad do you have any heavy metal records?" Not really but we went with Fun House and Zen Arcade.

Yeah, I usually say "Mr. 4" and "Mr. 7" for my two boys rather than "Nick" and "Luke." Their names aren't a secret or anything, but it seems like for people who don't know me, a story makes more sense when it's "my 4 year-old" than "Nicholas."

OK, so I took this about an hour after sunrise and the camera is pointed the wrong direction. But the light from the morning sun on Pikes Peak is always better than the sunrise here anyway. This is the view from my front yard. There's a lot I despise about Colorado Springs, but Pikes Peak ain't one of them.

Iris, also as usual, it was partially inspired by one of our IM conversations, which I didn't cite.
- Steve is older than ever
I vote you add "probably based on a conversation with Iris" to your standard post footer. ;-) I should probably do the same...
- lris
I don't disagree with this post -- I have neither grounds nor standing to -- but I do have an uncomfortable feeling about it; if inculcating skill at library research in the college classroom isn't even essential to a *college student*, how essential is the library exactly?
- D0r0th34
Dorothea- it's more about the timing I guess than the need overall. I strongly believe college students need such training, and the sooner the better- but if it is missed at the beginning of the year it can be made up. Indeed, there is an argument for leaving such sessions until a few weeks into semester.
- Pete
okay, that I can get behind :) the question then becomes one of making sure folks don't slip through the cracks
- D0r0th34
Yes. We have drop-in sessions, work with our learning hubs etc to provide additional support.
- Pete
It's about timing, yes, but also the (mistaken) idea that one-shots are just that, the one and only opportunity to reach a student. Thinking of classes that way not only makes people try to do too much in any given session (because if this is all the student gets it'd be irresponsible to leave anything out) but it also makes some people poo-poo the idea of the one-shot altogether since they can't be comprehensive enough.
- lris
Iris, I agree- I always stress to students (and staff if they are there) that the help doesn't end when the class does.
- Pete
Thanks, Pete and Iris. That's certainly what I was trying to get at. I'm a bit disappointed that this could be read as an argument against library instruction or library skills. I was going to torture my metaphor a bit by saying that if library instruction isn't a vaccination, it might be more like a good diet or a annual physical or something. It's not a one-time deal and it's difficult to quantify how effective it is in light of all the other factors at work.
- Steve is older than ever
Library is like gym- if you use it right and follow the trainer's instruction and support, you'll get fit. If you don't, you won't.
- Pete
Heh. And YMMV depending on the equipment, your trainer, your resolve, how out of shape you are to begin with and what your final goal is.
- Steve is older than ever
Indeed!

maybe y'all should take a drawing trip together. go out to the mountains or someplace like that. if i remember my art ed background right he's one level past his normal age group (it's been a while since i looked, but he's def above level a bit)
- Sir Shuping
Come to think of it, this is about the first thing I can think of that he has drawn from observation (more often it's monsters and such).
