Portfolio Finished (Almost)
March 31, 2009
Speaks for Itself
Although I set up this blog primarily to track the progress of my MLIS portfolio, I usually don’t post about the ins and outs of its creation. That wouldn’t make for exciting reading or writing. Now that I’m within a whisker of being finished, though, I feel like alerting the world. I just loaded images to my pages, changed them from private to public and the only thing I have left to do is upload two of my projects to the student server and link them. Yippee! Although this MLIS experience is nearly over, I plan on keeping up with this blog. Maybe I’ll write about my new career.
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!
