This is the Connected Corner and is where my work for INFO 287, the Hyperlinked Library, will be posted. I chose to name my blog, the Connected Corner, because I felt like it embodies the theme of this course and this blog will serve as a space for me to connect with my peers.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit about me, my name is Bella and I work in an archival digitization department at a public University. I fell into this field by chance when I started working in the archives as a student employee during my undergrad. At the time, I had no clue that this was a field of work that I could pursue. Flash forward three years, I have continued to work in our digitization department and have developed a passion for transforming old material into digitally accessible formats.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe some others in the the LIS program who are interested in archives can relate to this, but my personal hobbies are all a bit &#8220;old school.&#8221; I love to thrift and go to antique stores. I enjoy hobbies such as hand embroidering and recently crocheting (I&#8217;m almost finished with crocheting my first sweater). Lastly, I&#8217;ve been enjoying birdwatching. Just yesterday, while watching the bird bath in my parents backyard, we saw two Lovebirds (apologies for the blurry photo). Keep in mind, I live in Minnesota. Someone&#8217;s pet birds must have escaped and they look very out of place in our Minnesota forests. Hopefully they can find their way back home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-62\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-300x276.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-300x276.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-1024x944.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-768x708.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-1536x1415.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/theconnectedcorner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2026\/08\/IMG_5794-2048x1887.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I look forward to connecting to everyone this semester and talk to you soon!<\/p>\n<p>-Bella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
