Like most people in the library field I have taken interest in the journey of Google and their effects not only on the Internet but the world as a whole. A company born of the modern world their reach is extensively global and generation encompassing. And in 2004 Google set its eyes on the intellectual … Continue reading »

A Study of Multicultural Libraries and Their Users
Yesterday’s post about my courses reminded me that I never shared the results of my last independent study from last semester. So only two months after I said I would post about it…I am. Like I mentioned before where I started was not even close to where I ended. I think the best way to … Continue reading »
Public Library Design and Technology
You know what I realized? I realized I never shared what my independent study for the semester was. In fact other than the Practicum posts I haven’t actually mention anything about my last semester of classes…how rude of me. So as far as the final classes go, I have the practicum which actually has a … Continue reading »
There was cake!
My first day at my practicum started with two hours on the reference desk. Since it was the beginning of the semester we didn’t have many students needing help, so I was able to engage one of the librarians in conversation about general reference things and explore their catalog as well as the access they … Continue reading »
Day Five: The Grades are In
I know what you’re thinking, “Didn’t she just did a post where she waxed on and on about how she didn’t concern herself about grades and how she’s more concerned about what she’s taken away…blah, blah, blah…” Well I meant all that but hey I needed something to write for today. I didn’t do much … Continue reading »
Day Two of 2010 Winter Break

75% Completed

Ethics and Wikis
I would like to say I’ve managed to conquer that back log of stuff-to-do-asap but atlas no such things can be said. I finally buckled down and made my end-of-the-semester big to do list. I try to make it one month before the end of all my class obligations. This semester it’s December 10, when … Continue reading »
Dreamweaver Why Must You Hate Me?
As some of you may remember I was in a summer course this past summer that involved Web Productions. Our last project was to create a webpage on a topic of our choosing, well through all the mess with the summer issues I wasn’t able to finish the final. Also since I’ve recently been getting … Continue reading »
Site Visits
These last few weeks I’ve been lucky enough to visit three different local archival depositories. The first one we visit was the site of our professor Gwen Erickson at Guilford College. Even though I had done my internship there and was convinced that I had already known what she was going to show us, I was pleasantly … Continue reading »
