Hi @ysalina,
I’m glad to hear that the library was also a third place for you growing up! Reading your experiences unlocked a core memory for me in the children’s section– I remember I knew exactly where my favorite writers and genres were located, but your mention of adaptions made me think of a “choose your own adventure” book that I recall borrowing multiple times when I was younger because it was just that good. For the price of one, you get like maybe four or five different stories (sadly, there were only two endings…)-
I remember those books as well! They were these small paperbacks and I always had the urge to go through every choice to reach every ending possible.

-
I tried a VR demo at Best Buy for the first time last weekend, and while I definitely got vertigo, I would LOVE to sit down and go on a tour through foreign places I’ve yet to visit, are about to visit, or want to remember from previous trips.
-
I personally don’t think virtual reality can replace the real thing, but there is definitely a use case for the technology. Like you mentioned, to “pre-visit” a place, which would be like viewing an immersive map, or to revisit a somewhere you’ve been. It would also be a great technology for those that may have accessibility problems.

-
The Future Library is fascinating. I would add one more facet: The author who contributes a book also adds one chapter to a book that is being written over the 100 years.
-
Thank you for adding that facet Jeanna! I think that makes the Future Library that much more incredible. I also really like what the artist, Katie Paterson has to say of the artwork. “Future Library has nature, the environment at its core – and involves ecology, the interconnectedness of things, those living now and still to come. It questions the present tendency to think in short bursts of time, making decisions only for us living now.” It is a very reflective piece.

Hi, Roya! This was a fantastic and comprehensive summary of the course. I especially agree with #5 – the reflections were extremely useful and had me thinking and exploring my thoughts and experiences in combination with other classmates (including yours!) that I think overall really enlivened and expanded my understanding of what was already such robust content for each module, especially when it came to my own biases (I, in particular, was quite biased against AI, so it was cool to have that challenged by some of the course readings and reflections). Good job with this post!
-
@gilbertmaryjoy Hi Mary Joy, Thank you for your kind comments! I totally agree that with you that interacting with our colleagues through the reflection blogs expanded understanding of the course modules. Wishin you all the best in your future endeavors!
-
HI Roya,
Thanks for Sharing, These are excellent takeaways. It feels like an accurate summary of this class. -
@rodrigo. Thank you so much. Wishing you success in your future pursuits! Have a great summer!
-
Hi @royaflin. Great job on your video! I know I’m a bit last minute on my comments here but I really enjoyed it. I especially agree with you about this course representing my shared values of librarianship and libraries. And I loved your insight about collaboration making the impossible achievable. Thanks for sharing!

This is so beautifully done, and it’s a powerful way to provide a feeling of connection and community for senior citizens who may feel socially isolated. I wrote about dementia caregivers in my Info200 blog. Your report reminds me of the “Tales and Travel program,” where librarians visit memory care centers and use library books, music, and objects to take the participants on an imaginary trip to various countries or other parts of the United States. Thanks for sharing, and Well Done!
-
Hi Mikayla! I love the idea of providing senior story time! Most storytelling in libraries (and other settings) is geared toward children, but we all share a love of storytelling and listening – no matter our age. I personally know multiple older adults who would love and benefit from a program like this. Your report is very organized and aestethically pleasing, too! 🙂

@michael Just for clarification — when you say “final reflection” do you mean our virtual symposium, the last of our reflection posts, or something else?

@michael Thanks for this reminder!

Hi @Michael, could you please clarify how we obtain the “activity URL”? I see when I hover over my name in the upper right corner, the ‘Activity’ option in the drop down. After hovering over it, do we go to ‘Personal’ and submit the URL for that page?
Thank you 😊 .-

@michael, this link is not working for me

@emmizo What link?

@michael, sorry, the three purple dots in brackets after the word “Post” do not expand

@emmizo Not understanding… where exactly?
-
@michael I am sorry for the hassle. From my perspective in Site-wide Activity, the Share and Symposium post has an ellipses after you write “please share your URL here. Post [. . .]” The brackets are purple and should expand and it does not for me. The rest of the message is not there. I hope this helps.
-
The “Share & Submit Your Symposium!” link is not working either; I guess that is the same one.
-
@emmizo That is the weirdest thing. It is a bad link to a long gone web site for the class. This is the place to share your post and then submit to Canvas. I will look into that weird link deal.

From Site Formerly Known as Twitter: LIS Jobs Advice for New Grads
This week I'm asking people who hire library and LIS workers: We are nearing Spring graduation time. What advice do you have for new MLIS holders? I'm thinking both about their first post-MLIS job hunt, and in future career moves?
— Hiring Librarians (@HiringLib) May 7, 2024

@Michael, I love that you refer to it as the “Site Formerly Known as…” 😂
It’s an interesting quandary–I wonder myself about what my next move will be after I receive the degree, but also hold in reverence the knowledge that things almost always do not turn out the way I envision or plan for them to.

🤣
Yes – it is a journey with the potential for twists and turns.

Hi, Alina! This is a great reflection. I’m so curious about your colleague’s experience – I think I would also get frustrated trying to teach the ins and outs of electronics to kids, which makes me appreciate even more my computer teacher from elementary school that taught me to type. On my campus where I work, we have a separate STEAM lab where students do makerspace activities, and the library (where I am) is just for books and reading. I’ll have to recommend my own coworker to try out doing an escape room, that sounds so cool and constructive! Thank you for this post!
Hi Mj, we were having a pretty casual conversation (with a bit of venting) but there’s definitely a few other factors and stressors that led to his “experience.” And I can relate, sometimes it gets to a point where it feels like you’re doing the same thing again and again. The repetition makes you feel like you’re stuck or that you’re not growing. You want to be creative and innovative with the service and programs that you provide and switch things up, but there might not be enough time or support to do so.
We are also in a system that is very supportive of staff development. This may means that our title may not be indicative of all the work that we do. Sometimes, we end up stretched in multiple directions and it can be a stressor.
Regarding the escape room, yes! It is a lot of fun to set-up
Hi MJ,
We all can relate to what you describe how Library workers need to have a smile at all times. I’m a believer that is impossible and not healthy having that approach at all times. Like everyone in life we have good/bad days, for that reason for me Respect is primordial and doing your work with a smile is a plus but not mandatory.
Hi Rodrigo,
I believe you are responding to my post. There are various factors and societal exceptions that impact the way we are expected to act or behave when working with the public. I do agree with you however, that everyone has good days and bad days. What’s most important is to remain professional and as you noted, respectful.
