Sorry 'bout the caps...needed to make sure you saw this message :-)
(yes you can use slang and smileys in this class)
Just wanted to greet everyone with a blog post that might address some FAQ type questions:
1. You can call me Steve. I don't mind Professor (I'm not a Dr.), but you're not obligated
2. If you need to reach me, email will be best for now - librarysteve@yahoo.com, but review the class b4 you send questions
3. A lot of the video sources that I have up will say "this "week" on...", welcome to summer where everything in condensed...week now mean "section" or "area"
4. Class generally runs Monday-Monday, then we start a new set of topics...I grade the previous week's homework on Monday/Tuesday
5. I'm going to do my best to have a real life on weekends, so you'll generally see me being more available during the week...as we go through the class we'll communicate in various ways...email, blog posts, twitter, IM, etc. expect to see me more active on weekdays
6. I'll expect you to work hard in this class...I'll expect this class will take a good amount of time per week...please don't think this is going to be easy because it's summer
7. Ask for help when you need it, help others when you can
Now that you're done reading this, please head back to russl.pbwiki.com and enjoy the Introduction Class (then head to IM and Blogging)

As a former student of this class, I'll concur with point number 6 - you will work hard, and you will spend substantial time on this course.
On the other hand, of all of the classes I took in the MLIS program, SSL was the most practical and useful one by a longshot. You'll come out of this class with a great skill set.
So yes, you'll work. But the payoff is well worth it.
