My pets: (very silly goose) Zuko & Azula (who just wants sleep and warmth)
Hello! I am Esperanza, writer for Thoughts for Your (Hyperlinked) Thoughts (please let me know if you get the reference!). This semester is exciting because I finally completed all the pre-reqs and get to choose electives that seem both fun and interesting and relate to my particular interest of study. One of those electives, of course, is the class. I chose to take this course in particular because of the importance of keeping up with emerging trends and technology, especially considering how fast technology is advancing and how quickly trends change. I also really appreciate the human-centered approach and focus on how we can work with technology while maintaining human connections and conversations.
I came into this program not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into, but excited to learn more. My goal in LIS is to gain more knowledge about public librarianship and youth services to hopefully be able to work in that field. I have been both pleasantly and sometimes overwhelmingly surprised by the amount of information and knowledge that this degree has provided so far and will continue to provide. I am looking forward to this course and learning more!
Hi Esperanza!
Your cats are so cute! (And this is probably the only time I’ve seen Zuko and Azula get along ^-^)
I am also interested in public libraries and am excited to learn all I can as well.
Are you currently working in a library setting? I have been lucky enough to start working in a library part-time and it has been amazing at providing me with hands-on knowledge about what public librarianship may entail.
I wish you the best of luck on your learning journey!
Hi Ashley,
Thank you! I was recently offered a part-time position at a public library and I am really excited for it! Hoping I have a great experience like you have. 🙂
Best of luck too!
