This, ladies and gentleman, is what graduate education should be. Less "surveys of whatever" courses and more dealing with the social contexts of information and library practices, functions, and dare I say it, theories. "The intro course you want is lighter on the eggheadiness (though it should still be a little eggheady) and heavier on the social context of technology, technology law, a broad sense of library- and archive-specific technologies, and meta-technology skills such as project management, software/service choice, tech-skill (and tech help) acquisition, and technology-related advocacy." gavialib/2013/08/yes-virginia-it-matters-which-library-school-you-go-to/
