Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Palmer School of Library and Information Science of Long Island University offers a Master of Science degree in Library and Information Science. According to its Graduate Bulletin, the school was founded on the campus of C.W. Post University in 1959.  Its MSLIS degree was first accredited in 1971 by the American Library Association.  In 1992, Palmer's Master's degrees in Library and in Information Science were merged into one degree. Courses were first offered in Manhattan in 1995 and its doctoral program accepted its first students in 1997.  The Palmer School is the only full member of the iSchools consortium in the metropolitan New York City area and has the largest enrollment of masters students in library and information science in the state of New York.The School offers its programs at LIU Post in Brookville, New York and at New York University’s Bobst Library in Manhattan. Students can also take master's level courses in Brentwood, New York and in Westchester County, New York. The School partners with NYU to provide a dual degree program, leading to a Master's degree from NYU Steinhardt or NYU College of Arts and Science and a Master of Science in Library and Information Science from LIU.Palmer's program in Library and Information Science is accredited through the American Library Association. Palmer's master’s program requires students to complete 36 credits, 30 of which must be in library and information science. There are 18 credits of required courses, including an internship.The Masters program offers specialization in School Library Media, Public Librarianship, Rare Books and Special Collections, and Academic and Special Librarianship.

These online courses are taught by faculty from WISE host schools using their own course management systems and based on their academic calendar.  These courses offer students the opportunity to take electives outside the LIU community, without having to transfer credits.The most recent U.S. News & World Report ranked the Palmer School of Library and Information Science number 39 among the 43 ranked graduate programs in the field.
