Hello everyone! I am taking my first steps in creating my first course on Udemy. The title is "Library Science & the Art of Librarianship" I hope your mouth is now watering 😉 I am very interested in what your thoughts and opinions are given a few of my own. First --- there is no course offering on the subject of "the library" either on Udemy nor anywhere online (Coursera, edX, even YouTube all come up empty). What comes up via search is far from serious so I claim "none." Second --- I see a course on the library offering as much of a universal appeal as any course possibly could. Everyone on Udemy is a potential student. For that matter so is everyone on any site offering online learning anywhere. And beyond that is the universe of people who are not currently in the market for online learning. --- The library is a subject that is important and of value to everyone - possibly more than any other. Finally --- I can only claim this last point and for the purpose of this discussion hope you play along. I am presenting material that is not available anywhere else. My course represents a true advancement in the field. I plan on stating clearly that I will offer "librarian hacks, tips and tricks" not found anywhere else --- capable of saving students and lifelong learners hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. My course will teach the most advanced methods of librarians and library science. I am not in any way simply rehashing material from 50 year old books. Your experience creating a course (or many) makes your thoughts and input into what I hope to do on Udemy very important to me. Anything and everything from marketing, production, pricing and teaching methods are areas I can always learn from others. I have and will continue to use resources already available on Udemy to build my course, but given the uniquenesses I mentioned above I wanted to ask you - the community of published instructors for your insights in this forum. Thanks for your help, Mike Brlecic
