Hi everyone!
My name is Isabel and I am from Long Beach, California. I am currently taking 3 summer courses and working full time as Tutorial Program Coordinator at Long Beach City College. I am set to graduate in the Fall which is so exciting and gave me the motivation to take 3 summer courses, however, I did not plan to be working full-time for summer which caused some unexpected stress. I did go to UC Irvine for undergrad which was a quarter system, making me believe that I can handle 3 courses in 10 weeks (we shall see).
I am excited to be taking this course to learn more about hyperlinked libraries and how libraries have changed, and will continue to change. My motivation to start the MLIS program was because of my lifelong love for libraries and my connection to librarians.
I wish everyone the best summer!

Hi there Isabel! I’ve always been partial to taking summer classes in college because of the condensed schedule – I stay focused and don’t get too distracted or bored as there’s so much to do! I commend you taking three classes however… There is no way I’d be able to manage that! Good luck this semester with working full time and all your classes!
Hi Isabel,
I was born in Torrance, CA, near you, but lived most of my life in Washington State. I’ve taken single Summer courses before, this is my first Summer session with two courses while working full time – and that time frame is a whole thing to keep up with for sure. You can do it!
@isabelpt thanks for sharing your background. I wish you the very best with your three classes and as I’ve mentioned, make this class work in the best way for you. I am so excited you’ll be graduating this.
Welcome to #hyperlib!
