Big Friday
March 13, 2009
Well, I’m happy to say that all the practicing paid off–I was promoted to librarian on Tuesday! Although, I don’t officially begin my new role until next week, I’ve been reading up on our reference procedures, looking over examples of information literacy assessments and trying to prepare as much as possible. I’m really excited and feel fortunate to have gotten the job in such a tight market. Onto the the next chapter!
Now Presenting
March 6, 2009
On Monday, I have my first real librarian interview at the library where I’m currently employed. All week I’ve been practicing my presentation skills in the shower and holding mock Q&A’s in the car. Hopefully, by Monday I’ll be ready to put the jitters aside and rock this thing. One component of the interview is to deliver a 2o-minute example of information literacy instruction. Preparing for the instruction has actually been really rewarding. I’ve found some great methods and criteria for evaluating internet resources, and it’s been fun thinking of how to present them. Anyway, here’s my PowerPoint:
I would really love to hear any feedback about my slides or any suggestions people may have for preparing. Wish me luck!
