MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are one of today’s popular and effective educational solutions. This presentation connects directly to another, held by our colleagues. Last spring, we have managed to create a complete e-learning package with our team at the SZTE Klebelsberg Library in order to meet the unprecedented challenges during the pandemic. We have more than 10 years of experience from organizing the Introduction to library and information science compulsory course for the students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, which means about 5-600 students per semester. In our presentation, we will share insights about our experiences managing the e-curriculum and the system of tools behind it: starting with the platform and the database of the exam questions, followed by the communication with the students and ending with the grading method. We will also address the initial extreme difficulties, emerging requests and evaluate the first year’s experiences as well.

This chapter provides the genesis of the massive open online courses (MOOCs) concept and perceptions of library and information science professionals towards the evolution of MOOCs in libraries and the information science domain by using a survey. The results of this study revealed that a majority of library and information science professionals who participated in this survey were working in academic libraries and aware of the MOOCs concept from three years, by scholarly literature. The MOOCs concept was updated and useful in libraries and the information science domain, while a lack of MOOCs related specific to competencies and skills emerged as the main barrier. This survey also showed that the concept of MOOCs will continue to grow in the future. This chapter will be helpful to understand the concept of MOOCs and the insights of library and information science professionals in the MOOCs context.
