Most Fascinating Experience In SLIS 701

On October 28th, 2015, Lone Star College of Kingwood hosted an event called the human library. It was held on campus for students who were interested to participate. The human library was created for students to gain knowledge of obstacles individuals experienced in life, such as living in the south as a black woman in the 1950’s, being homeless, and being a religion that is frowned upon in society. The purpose of the event is to teach students about other cultures, social classes, and hardship. The speakers inform our generation their own personal experience rather than information in a text book.

The accapella group and the drum group was very interesting to watch. It was fun to learn the school cheers that could be used at sporting events. It was also fun to dance along to the song that was played. Sitting through the speeches was not a part that I particularly enjoyed but I know that they were very insightful and that the advice will help me later in life. Hearing from the Chancellors and the Deans of the school was very helpful. To be able to put a face to a person and realize that they are just that, a person, is extremely

In LIS 600 students evaluate democratic principles, major information policies, ethical policies, and the role information agencies play in preserving information. In the paper the student determines the role of librarians in the implementation of policy and the role of continuing education no user relations.The instructor describes my paper as “excellent research and smart thoughts.” I earned a B for the paper. The final exam is a culmination of knowledge and discussion of ethical policies, evolution of policies, and education of librarians. These topics provide a knowledge base for anyone entering the library profession. The understating of policy also intertwines with other coursework such as the strategic plan. One cannot create a strategic plan without understanding information policies. I received a letter grade of A for the final exam. Instructor comments for the exam include “a job well done.” These artifacts for LIS 600 build a foundation of library profession providing the theories for future librarian and library development.

A sense of humility came over me as I searched to find my way. It was difficult to make new friendships overnight. In this time I learned to branch out and find the right people to build relationships with. Sometimes it was hard to find the right people. I had optimism that the year would go great, and I overcame the doubts in my mind. The treatment I received from my classmates was humbling. Their appreciation made me feel comfortable in my new surroundings. Looking back to my first day at Larned makes me realize how great it was. I learned valuable lessons about myself and how to become a better person because of

In high school, I had a very positive experience throughout, but perhaps the most memorable experience would come from my involvement with the FFA. I remember the Ag classes was unlike any other classes on campus because we would go to the school farm to learn from hands-on experiences. My teacher Mrs. Keverline would become more than just a teacher for me she would become a role model. Mrs. Keverline would help me improve with showing pigs as my SAE project, she teaches me about the importance of agriculture, and lastly, she helps made me into the public speaker that I am today. In FFA I had the opportunity to do public speaking competition or event and at the time I was scared to do them, but glad I did because it helps me out in the long.

I enjoyed experiencing the bill-to-law process. Hearing the different sides and viewpoints on the bills was interesting. Seeing my classmates put together persuasive arguments was neat because it allowed myself and the class to see pieces of the senator’s personality. I enjoyed the almost competitive nature of the process, everyone wanted to win, and I believe that made it

Another thing that makes it exciting to come to school is the staff at CYHS. Never have I connected better with my teachers than I have in high school. I am able to open up to them and create friendships with them, which lets me contribute more to and get more from my classes because I feel

One of my most memorable moments was when I joined Geek Squad. Geek squad was basically a program for kids who were good with computers so they went from class to class to help teachers work out their technology problems. The club was run my old computer teacher, Ms. Carson, and the club had two sessions, one from October through February and another session from February to June. The session I joined was from February through June. At that time, there was only eight kids and in the other session it was much larger. All we did was connect all the laptops to the school network, yet I still have fond memories on what I did back then.

I love being able to get out of the normal day classroom and just see what a typical day would look like for me. I also really found the field trips very fun. I liked being able to go and see what people are doing as their jobs. I found it helpful because sometimes you only understand jobs from one view point, so being able to be right up and close with the whole process what a great experience for me.

For example, understanding the different between a capstone project and research has been a phenomenal experience for

The part of my project that I learned the most from was the guest biographies. So this is Harry Potter’s biography (Show Page) and this is Kiera Cass’ biography. (Flip page to her biography). These were definitely not my favorite, but I did learn a lot about my guests’

My most memorable moment was when I came to Job Corps. Before Job Corps I was a different person. I was more into the street life but I would have to blame my environment the PJ’s. Growing up in that environment you see a lot, hear a lot and be ahead of the kids that’s in your age group.

It was a very exhilarating experience and taught me so much about political issues in our country. Now a senior in high school, I have experienced many new and exciting opportunities to expand my horizons. In all, I honestly enjoy and appreciate new and all of my experiences because it has shaped who I am as an individual. From a freshman to now a senior, I have grown mentally, spiritually, and overall wiser to be college ready. My learned and acquired skills have turned me into the strong individual that I am

My time at the library strengthened my reading abilities and established one of my most cherished hobbies.

Library has been a great source for information literacy. Being a cheap source and having books to read library were popular years ago and were one of the most used sources for education. Library had played huge role in promoting information literacy but, with the advancement in technology people are now open to a lot sources and on this run libraries were seem to be neglected due to the lack of updated information in the library. Libraries have gone through some necessary changes that have helped updating information available there.
