I thought I would like this a lot more than I did. I didn't read the whole thing, I wound up occasionally picking it up and trying out one chapter, then coming back another time and trying out another chapter. For some reason, this just didn't resonate with me. Had I stopped to think about the fact that I rarely get through an entire post on the Design Thinking blog, I probably would have realized all of this ahead of time. But to be fair, I don't think I read much about this book before I requested it - I expected something different, based on the "blended librarian" mention in the subtitle. (What I expected is an entirely different, equally unanswerable, question.)

A lot of the book focuses on collaborations with faculty, but the types of things presented (getting stuff embedded into the CMS, getting more involved in campus collaborations) don't really apply here for a variety of reasons. The chapter on Digital Learning Materials would probably be good to read if we were doing more with screencasting and whatnot, but we're not doing much with it at all (which I think is a shame given how many off-campus students we have). So this might be something to come back to in the future, but for now it's not quite where I am.
