By spiel, I mean introduction. I have a couple of elective courses under my belt now and was thrilled to snag a spot in this class. Anyone who keeps up with the SJSU Class Recs Facebook group knows taking Hyperlinked Libraries with Dr. Stephens is a must during our MLIS journeys. I’m excited to learn what makes an effective, user-focused library in 2026 and beyond, and apply our findings to my job as a library assistant at my K-12 school.
I do have a special interest in school libraries, but I am still very open to learning about all types of libraries and all the different paths to librarianship.
P.S. If you appreciate my blog name reference, let me know what book you’re on in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series!


@camillewedin that is nice to know that students discuss this class. I think you will find inspiration this semester for various types of libraries and may find a path you’d like to explore further. Welcome to the hyperlinked library.
