Thanks so much to everyone who sent me information and recommendations! If only I
had known about LM_NET before I had a nightmare semester at a University that is on
the World Heritage list (no, it wasn't the Taj Mahal).
All costs are for non-residents.
1. Several people recommended U/WISC at Stout
http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/courses.shtml#library
several interesting classes (Digital Classroom sounded very appealing), website
very user-friendly, 3 hour class $900
Nicole Sette also said, about my cataloguing question ("Do I have to?"): "PS - I
didn't take a real cataloging class either and I couldn't be happier. I buy all of
my books preprocessed and cataloged."
Joan Vandervelde, Program Coordinator, sent me a really helpful email. Here is one
class that sounds very helpful, in light of our school system's emphasis on
Inquiry-Based Learning:
NEW - Digital Classroom: Teaching Information Literacy
This course focuses on the integration of primary resources and information
literacy with K-12 curriculum. Pedagogical and constructivist considerations
including rationale for using primary sources to stimulate inquiry, creativity and
higher order thinking, formulating research queries, creating engaged learning
activities, evaluating information resources, teaching students research
strategies, and planning partnership activities with libraries and museums.

2. University of Washington
lots of offerings, from the typical (Collection Dev.) to the technical (Programming
for Information...) to the intellectual.

LM_NET'er Jo Lewis said their cataloguing class was a good one.
3.Teacherline courses from PBS.

Lots of choices, but pricing is complicated. In some cases, a discount if your
school participates in a certain consortium. I chose Virginia and it mentioned
"C.I.I./WHRO" consortium - another one of those unfortunate website flaws, where if
you don't already know what it means, it isn't explained (or not on the same page).
$199 for 2 credit hour classes but to get graduate credit, add:
$130 for a 2 hour class with graduate credit from Adams Univ. or
