Be careful what you wish for…
By Meredith Farkas | July 21, 2007
Remember last week when I posted about wanting to teach a class on social software for library school students? Well, it looks like I may have gotten my wish. More details will be forthcoming, but suffice it to say, I will be crazy-busy over the next several months. I’m so excited!!! Paul Pival asked me to post about his wish that his deck would rebuild itself since my blog seems to have magical powers. Anything yet Paul? 
I’m literally blown away by the faith so many people (people I admire greatly) have had in me. I know I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve gotten, but I owe a great debt of gratitude to my mentors and champions in this profession. I feel incredibly lucky even to know you all, but your belief in me is really beyond words. I only hope I can be a mentor and a champion to others as well. Having a knowledgeable and well-connected champion can make all the difference in this field.

Congratulations, Meredith! I just graduated from FSU College of Information in April. I wish there had been a class about social software when I was in school!

Congrats again Meredith, and thanks for the try – the deck is half-built, but took me about 9 hours yesterday to get this far – can’t argue too much with the end result though!

very cool, but be careful who you work for, not all schools and situations are created equal and it might be worth you time to avoid some of them. my semester long classes in social software went quite well, the last one is on my wiki and learninglibrarians.net
