Great short podcast (about 12 minutes) from Educause 2005 in which Allan Carrington is on the scene with a group from Penn State talking about Instructional Design Librarians. I think being an Instructional Design Librarian would be really neat. The most interesting thing I got from this was that when developing this position, apparently it used to be just a straight IT position, but they added the librarian bit because librarians at Penn State are faculty, and they figured librarians would be more well-received by the teaching faculty. Don’t always personally find that to be true, but it’s neat to hear it put that way.
