More Introduction

I finally found the due date (tonight), in learning to navigate this course, for our first INFO 287 post! Here is a little more about me:

Professional:

I have been working in public library circulation since I was 20 years old and I have about a year left in the MLIS program (I’ve taken the “slow, but steady” approach since Fall’22). What I love most about this type of public service is the different kinds of tasks you can do in any one shift and, of course, helping people get the information and materials they need, or desire! I am also really excited to graduate next fall!!! I am at that close, but not too close point, which can cause some anxiety, lol!

Personal:

When I not working at school, or working at the library, one can find me (not a big surprise) reading or watching the next popular t.v. show or movie, More active pursuits include going to the gym or, recently this summer, getting reacquainted with paddleboarding. Right now, I do different activities, both sedintary and active, with the furry “love of my life”, my pug, Darcy. She is actually the first pug I’ve had (since 8 years old) that doesn’t absolutely hate water. She will play a bit with the waves in the ocean! I also love going to escape rooms and solving mystery boxes.

Looking forward to chatting and learning with you all!

Hello world!

Hello INFO 287 instructor and fellow students! This first post is not going to be as polished as many you see, mainly because I haven’t used WordPress, since taking a MLIS core class at the beginning of my degree. I’m both excited and apprehensive about learning about technology, especially library technology, but I wanted to be more skilled with it due to my public library job and the fact that I am not naturally as technologically oriented as others. Even though I am nervous about being able to understand newer library technologies, in a thorough capacity, I do find interest in the ways that libraries use those technologies to provide amazing patron service! I’m looking forward to discussing and leaning with everyone!

Best of learning,
