Hello all! My name is Anita, and I go by they\/she pronouns. I am based in the San Jose area, and my professional background is in education, graphic\/UX design, and bookselling. I am currently a volunteer for the Organization for Transformative Works. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, hoarding craft materials, and writing fanfiction.<\/p>\n

Though my chosen career pathways have more to do with information and data, I am a firm believer that libraries are centers of not just knowledge but connection. As someone who grew up in multiple countries and speaking different languages, I have particular interest in how we empathize with those beyond our immediate social and cultural groups.<\/p>\n

I am also interested in how technology has shaped our relationship with information\u2014my CYOA-style discussion posts in prior courses such as Reference\/Information Services, Information Literacy, and Information Architecture tended to focus on how Google, other major tech companies, and LLMs have influenced our information behaviors. I look forward to exploring this topic further in this course!<\/p>\n

Currently reading: <\/strong>Babel<\/em>, by R. F. Kuang
\nCurrently playing: <\/strong>Pokopia<\/em><\/p>\n
