Hi, friends!<\/p>\n

My name is Cassandra. I currently work full-time in an academic library in Utah as the Art & Design Librarian and plan to do so for the forseeable future. Next semester is my last semester of the MLIS program at SJSU and the only thing I’ll be working on is my e-Portfolio–so this summer I’m taking my last two classes!<\/p>\n

I was interested in this course because in my job, I work directly with patrons (primarily students, faculty, and staff), collections, and services and I’m constantly trying to evaluate ways I and the library can better engage and serve our community. This course seems like a great way to learn strategies and skills to do this!<\/p>\n

A little bit about me: I have the cutest 9-year-old rescue dog named Essie; my dad was an academic librarian, so libraries are part of my DNA; my background is in art history and museum studies and prior to my current position, I worked 6 years in two of the Smithsonian’s art museums; in my currently limited free time, you’ll find me reading, watching TV, playing Forza Horizon 6 (courtesy of my husband), hiking, going for motorcycle rides (also courtesy of my husband), or taking a nap.<\/p>\n
