Multimedia Competency

I found this model created by Michael Habib that he developed while working on his MLS paper. According to Habib (2006):

This model presents a view of how students might view the library as place in relation to their academic and social lives. It is at this intersection that I propose Library 2.0 has begun to materialize. The primary goal of the model is to encourage brainstorming over how we can develop virtual environments that will fit into students' lives. (para. 2)

I like the way that an academic library is shown as fitting into a student’s social as well as academic life. It would be interesting to explore this model more and see if this is necessarily true. This makes me ponder about the things that I could do as an academic librarian to help this model become more of a reality.
