This is my second semester at the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) at the University of Alabama. This is actually my fourth year in college. I completed undergrad in three years, so I ended up as one of the youngest people in this program. It's actually kind of fun.
Last semester I took Organization of Information, Introduction to Library Studies, and Materials and Children's Services. Organization of Information was about how the information in a library is organized and why. Pretty self-explanatory. Introduction to Library Studies is also pretty self-explanatory. Materials and Children's Services, though, was an elective and I wasn't really sure what I was getting in to. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We reviewed a lot of books and learned a lot about how to pick literature for children.
This semester I'm taking Information Sources and Services, which is a reference class; Advanced Materials Programming for Youth, which is focusing on multiculturalism in children's and YA literature; and Information Technologies, which is the class that I have created this blog for. Advanced Materials Programming for Youth is a doctorate level course, and that class combined with the reference class means I'm going to be very, very busy this semester.
About Me
- Extribuli
- Extribulum, plural extribuli, is a book that originated on the internet, as coined by copperbadge on Livejournal.
This blog will focus on extribuli and ebooks and the ebook revolution. To search through topics, just look through the tags. I will do my best to tag each post appropriately to make browsing easy.
I am a graduate student at the University of Alabama in the Library and Information Studies program. I'm hoping to one day be a young adult librarian. Or maybe work on something in the technological side of the library. I work in a computer lab on campus right now, and have worked there since August, and I thoroughly enjoy my job.
