Hello INFO 287 class ! Surely I’m not the only one feeling a tad overwhelmed as we attempt to hit the ground running with summer session. I’ve always struggled a bit with transitions, so the beginning and ending of semesters I try to give myself extra TLC as I adjust to new routines. Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to reading up everyone’s blogs this semester and learning about the Hyperlinked Library !
A Little Bit About Me
Here’s a collage I created for when I first had to introduce myself in INFO 203 back in Fall 2024. I had to compress this image to be under 2mb to meet the upload requirements, which has caused a lot of color banding (I had to look up the term for it). It’s a simple concept but it never occured to me that I could just compress any image to get that effect! Anyways, this collage is almost a year old but I like to share it because I think it represents me pretty well—I like flowers, clouds, collecting library cards, pokemon, pikmin, sweet pastries, and coffee ! Feel free to reach out to me via email if any of these strike your interest as well.
A Little Bit About the Grove
Last night I was contemplating about what to name my blog. I can get pretty indecisive about naming things as if it’s a big permanent decision like getting a tattoo. I closed my eyes and tried to visualize what I think about the hyperlinked library and immediately thought of trees. I’m not sure what the trunk of the tree would represent, but I think branches and roots and root systems that connect with other trees can be a decent visualization for how online resources link to one another. I liked the ring of the word “grove” so here we are now !
Best of luck to my fellow classmates and have great first week(end) of summer session !
