My IST 620 Advanced Topics in Information Innovation class is a project based course. The professor broke the class up into small groups and connected us with real-world clients. My partner, Jennifer Liddy, and myself have been working with the Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) to create a document of social media … Continue reading »

Internship and School Update
It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged, but don’t think my lack of updates speaks to laziness, more a testament to my busyness. This is the last week of classes in school for the Fall 2011 semester and I’m a little sad and also a little excited. As this semester ends, I am looking … Continue reading »
Goodreads – A Review

The first meeting is today at 3pm … Continue reading »

Having lived the last four years in Japan, I got used to seeing QR codes everywhere. They are on food packages, fliers, and some books. Probably the … Continue reading »
Fun!
I have to say, the second rapid response assignment for 511 was probably the most fun I have had doing classwork since 6th grade when we did medieval day and got to wear costumes to school. My group made a video with “interviews” with two fake and two real librarians to kinda show the differences … Continue reading »
IFLA – International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
This semester I am taking a course on International Librarianship (IST600 M009). For class this week, each student had to choose an activity or group in IFLA and make a short presentation describing it to the class. I chose the audiovisual and multimedia section for my presentation because when browsing through the groups, they had … Continue reading »
