Reaction to "7 Things you should know about... Lulu"
One of our assigned readings from this week was the Educause article "7 Things you should know about... Lulu." I was interested in reading this article because I had never heard of Lulu before and was curious about what kind of a program it was. I was surprised and excited to learn that Lulu can be used by people that want to publish original works. I have authored one article in my career as an educator, but I am interested in doing more writing at some point. I was delighted that it sounds like Lulu is an easy way to self-publish and even get an ISBN for original material. The article mentioned that there are several templates to use on Lulu and ways to personalize the product so that it is just how you want it.
I can see several applications for Lulu in my own personal and professional life. However, I feel that Lulu might also be a way for the college students that I teach to prepare professional works themselves. Lulu is definitely something I am interested in investigating further.

I too did not know about Lulu until I read the article. I have not personally wrote anything that I would published but being involved in a college makes me think of all the material that professors would like to put together for a courses. I think I will do a little more resource and see if this would be a good tool to use for our courses.
