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.

The School of Information Sciences, also The iSchool at Illinois, is a graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Its Master of Science in Library and Information Science is currently accredited in full good standing by the American Library Association. The school is a charter member of the iSchool initiative.
The school offers  the Master of Science in Library and Information Science (MS/LIS; comparable to the Master of Library and Information Science), Master of Science in Information Management (MS/IM), Master of Science in Bioinformatics,  a Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS), and a PhD. Specializations available to MS/LIS students include Youth Services, K-12 School Librarianship, Special Collections, Community Informatics, Socio-technical Data Analytics, and Data Curation. The School's PhD program in LIS, the oldest such program in the country,  is primarily oriented towards interdisciplinary research.
