I enrolled in this course knowing nothing about the concept of the Hyperlinked Library; however, it seemed like something that would apply to my job as an Administrative Analyst for a Public Library, and Professor Stephens was highly recommended. I am always looking for practical tools and fresh perspectives. Here, I’ve discovered a dynamic, human-centered approach to library services
I decided to present the Hyperlinked Library as a metaphor, a vast network of stars – each connection illuminating new possibilities, each point of light representing potential for service and community engagement. For this assignment, I created a presentation via Canva with images from gemini.google.com.

Gosh @angela this is such a lovely symposium. You’re right. We are a network of stars. I’ve been inspired by this course and the people in it; our libraries and library staff are truly the pillars of the community. The creativity in building spaces for the whole community is wonderful.
I love the idea of leading by guiding and not controlling. This is truly the words of our librarians, and it’s a powerful thing. It creates that waterfall of support for patrons.
Thank you!
