Introduction

Hi All!

I’m excited to be taking The Hyperlinked Library course finally! I’ve been looking forward to it for the entirety of my time spent at the iSchool. This is my final semester, and I’m definitely going out on a high note.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Stephens in my very first class at SJSU in Info 200, and he was incredibly inspirational and talked about libraries in a way that spoke to me and reminded me why I was working so hard to become a librarian. This class is one that I want to take now as a reminder of that once again, as I’m moments away from going into the world to finally live that dream.

The LIS world is an exciting place where all the best parts of society intersect. I get really hyped up when I think about accessibility, technology, and literature all in one place! I want to help people have a safe resource, community, and entertainment space. Life is too hard, and libraries are a place of potential peace for all of us, free from all the usual barriers and hoops. Thats the kinda place I want to spend my day, the kind of energy I want to produce in the world.

I look forward to getting into this class in detail and exploring the possibilities!

  1. Hi Jenny! I am also in my last semester (hopefully). I had Stephens for 200 as well and completely agree that he is an absolute gem. That class was one of the highlights of my time in the program.

    Best of luck to you!
