My alma mater, University of Michigan School of Information is doing something rather interesting. They have a Web based open house for prospective Masters and PhD students here, viewable anytime, and live online chat scheduled for Nov. 20 at 2pm, Nov. 28 at 3pm; and Dec. 5 at noon (Eastern Time).
Virtual Connect has video footage, including a panel of current students, from the on-campus open house event.
Hat tips to Laura Elgas,Manager of Recruitment and Admissions School of Information Masters Program and Karen Jordan, Associate Director Alumni Relations and Development
My library school on the other hand (University of Alberta) has gone in the opposite direction. Faculty have recently begun to ban the use of laptops in an effort to "reduce physical barriers between lecturers and students". The lecture podiums will stay however.
