Hello everyone, my name is Hildana!
I currently work as a library page for the San Jose Public Library and my experiences working there are what inspired me to take this course. When I’m helping patrons navigate technology that’s new to them such as our library’s eResources or even our printer, many of them express concern about catching up with the new technology and how it’s going to impact to them. These feelings are familiar so I wanted to take this course to learn more about the emerging technologies that are new to me and how they are going to impact the people in the library – those who work there and those who visit. I’m looking forward to seeing how I can apply what I learned this semester into my current and future work as I hope to grow my career in public libraries.
When I am not in school or at work, I love to spend my time outdoors either by hiking or just going for a nice walk. I also enjoy reading, scrapbooking, journaling, and watching procedural tv shows like Law & Order or Criminal Minds.

@hildana thanks for sharing your background. I am interested in which law and order you follow. The one network show that I still watch is special victims unit. I saw Mariska Hargitay at our Traverse City film festival and she was absolutely amazing.
