From the monthly archives: November 2010
I went home (home being a relevant term) to visit my Dad for Thanksgiving. As part of my activities, I went to the downtown library and found my great-grandparents’ obituaries. It was my first time using microfilm (which is easy!) since we have not been taught practical skills like that so far in library school. [...]

For my final project in the Digital Libraries class, I was only suppose to be doing a mini project of creating my own digital library.

Yesterday was the iDEAL Summit hosted by my department. I was on the planning committee though the main thing I did was take notes about what to add to the website as well as giving insight on how students were reacting to the advertisement of iDEALS. I also promoted the Summit on Facebook and [...]
I presented my poster at iDEALS (Information, Diversity, Engagement, Access and Leadership Summit) today. The creation of the poster was very troublesome and fraught with misadventures. However, it ended well as I won one of five prizes for my Screencasting Tools to Teach Distance Education and Promoting Your Lessons via Social Media [...]
Her eyes met his and she laughed a high, humorless laugh now. “Seventeen must seem like such a long way off for you. Three years was too far of a distance for me to reach across and make my feelings known as well, so maybe it is just the same, little one.”
