By now, it would be silly to list reading as one of my interests. In addition to reading I like to do all sorts of things. I live with my husband in Berkeley and I enjoy walking around my neighborhood to find new restaurants and stores. I also enjoy staying in to play board games at home with whoever will join me. I feel about movies the way I do about books, where I have my favorite go to's (ranging from Terry Pratchett to George Elliot in books and from Rowan Atkinson to Miranda Richardson in movies) but will try anything that catches my attention.
I had a few classes within a library technician program at my junior college several years ago. I am excited about how much has changed and the new directions information tech is going these days. But I know I am sadly out of date. I am looking forward to this class helping me explore what is available from a consumer standpoint before I jump into my professionally oriented program next fall. I am looking forward to learning whatever I can in this course.
Hi Sarah - I love your header! So you're a future librarian? It's nice to have someone in the course who will actually be interested in the material - I hope you will come by and chat with Korey and I. We're both graduates of SLIS and are fairly new librarians (about 3 years) and yes, things have changed very rapidly in the field in the last 10 years. I live up near you (in Kensington) - it's a bit of a commute but the neighborhood is pretty and the cats like it. I hope this course will teach you a few new tricks, and at the very least, you'll get to experience the kind of thing an instructional librarian does first-hand. Welcome!
