Comic Life

That was a hectic assignment. I believe I would have done better had I better prepared. Some of my classmates used prepared photography which help their presentations to be more organized. I depended upon stringing together photos that I already had and fitting them into the scenario. Lesson Learned-- Stay ahead of the game!

21st Century Literacy

Information literacy is critically important today because we are surrounded by a growing ocean of information in new formats. Not all information is created equal: some is authoritative, current, reliable, but some is biased, out of date, misleading and false. The amount of information available is going to keep increasing. The types of technology used to access, manipulate, and create information will likewise expand.



I believe myself to be on the cutting edge of 21st Century Learning. In order to be information literate in the 21st Century, one must be adept in computer applications as well as media literacy . One must be able to engage all of the tools necessary to locate, evaluate and synthesize the great proponderance of information that is available on the web within seconds.



As an academic librarian, we are faced with siesmic changes in the organizational structure of libraries. I realize that for me to remain relevent in a socially networked academic world I must facilitate continuous motion in the ever developing trends of technology. To remain relevant, I cannot serve only those patrons who come to me in search of information , but I must reach into new spaces and deliver my services where my patrons are most likely to be.
