My Academic and Professional Occupations

In other words, what will be keeping me academically and professionally occupied this Fall semester.

• Instruction Internship at King Library (teaching MUSE, Science 2, English 1B, and some 100W library instruction classes as well as participating in the Science Librarian Team)
• Creating and Developing my E-Portfolio (the culmination of everything I have done in my MLIS career)
• LIBR 246 - Online Social Networking in Libraries (following M. Farkas' book)
• Special Collections and Archives student assistant work
• Treasurer for the Student Chapter of ALA
• Helping the SJSU Math Dept when needed (website and office work)
• And last, but not least, The Job Hunt (my ideal position is a Science/Engineering Subject Academic Librarian)

So I think I will be plenty busy this semester. While I am hoping that occasionally I will have time to breath, I am looking forward to everything that I will be learning. I am certain that it will be preparing me for my grand entrance into the LIS profession.

Oh, here is something that I did for my LIBR 246 class, an attempt to play with a Web 2.0 application. It is a wordle representation of this blog. Click on the image to view a larger version. Then try making your own wordle.
