What I Wish I Had Known by Roy Tennant I've followed Roy Tennant's thoughtful writings for years. Here's another worth reading and worth thinking about. A sample: "I wish I had known that the solution for needing to teach our users how to search our catalog was to create a system that didn't need to be taught—and that we would spend years asking vendors for systems that solved our problems but did little to serve our users. I wish I had known that we would come to pay the price of our folly by seeing our users flock to commercial companies like Google and Amazon." This reflection certainly applies to repositories for open educational resources. _____JH   ______     Libraries and Librarians  New by Roy Tennant: What I Wish I Had Known What will be a classic by our friend, Roy Tennant! - gary [ResourceShelf] 10:03:36 PM    COMMENT []
