An essay can make the case for a new kind of library learning experience. A guide has to help someone actually begin. As you explore this project, notice the path from a question to an explanation, then from an explanation to something the learner can try. Where does the learner have to make a judgment of their own?

Which parts simply reflect our excitement about technology?
