Library Connect podcasts launch!
Risa Blumlein
If anyone knows eLearning, it’s Generation Y, right? We thought it only fitting to launch Library Connect’s new Next Gen section in this issue, since next-gen’ers can practically eLearn with their eyes closed. Here three next-gen librarians talk about their experiences with eLearning, and how it has been received and implemented in their own communities.
Moving forward, the Next Gen section will appear on a regular basis in issues of this newsletter. It's been a pleasure to serve as the editor of the inaugural issue of the new Next Gen section, and I wish all three of the next-gen librarians featured here - Erika Bennett, Megan Curran and Quofu Qian - the very best of continuing success with their careers.

Risa, herself a member of Generation Y, expects to wrap up her MLIS studies at California’s San José State University by December 2008. Thanks go to Risa for having served as editor for the first installment of the new Next Gen section.
