\"\"Who am I? It’s a question we all get asked. One that provokes many different answers. I could tell you about my where I grew up or how I transitioned from wanting to be a zoologist to studying to become an archaeologist to working with museums and libraries as a digitizing specialists. I could talk about my hobbies and personal interests such as cooking, gardening,\"\" handcrafts, dancing and so on. It might even come up in a “getting to know you” conversation what some of my favorite things are. All of these topics can give a new acquaintance a glimpse into the depth of feelings, convictions, fears, and aspirations all of us have as a unique person.<\/p>\n

In this class we look at the future of libraries and as a student I too am looking towards my personal future so instead of sharing about my past I will share about my hoped for future. It has become increasingly obvious to me that despite my best efforts to be a tried and true luddite, technology will only become more and more incorporated into daily life. Ironically, I already have a library position that is tech centered as I am a digitizer. Digitizing technology is changes rapidly and I find that I need to catch up and keep up especially when it comes \"\"to capturing and sharing 3-dimensional artifacts. With this in mind I am pursuing knowledge about new technology and how I can help patrons engage with my library’s and museum’s collections in a digital space.<\/p>\n
