Assignment:

This week’s assignment is twofold. It will showcase a learning of one of the visual mediums above and also give you a chance to check out what your fellow classmates are doing and find out more about them and their blog.


Once you get in touch, I’d like you to conduct an interview with the blogger you are reaching out to. The interview should involve one of the visual tools noted above. Some examples include…

  • You email them questions, they answer in video form.
  • You host a podcast with fellow blogger.
  • You email questions, receive written answers and photos provided of the blogger along with images of their blog that are put into a slideshow.

Interview with a Blogger

This week, I interviewed a fellow blogger, Pamela Espinosa de los Monteros (check her out at Blog Thing). I tried not to ask questions that she has already answered on her blog, so you should check it out!

Growing (My) Blogging Community

I do keep an iPhone notes app full of ideas – this is where I really intersect with the idea of blogging. A lot of my ideas are short thoughts, odd takes on the world or what-ifs. When asked if I have a blog – when I tell people I think of myself as a writer – I think of this sort of content. But I also think of blogging a whole story. Read more of this post

IST 511 – Day 5

This was hand-crafted in JFK on Saturday, but the WiFi in my wing did not work so well. Here we go!

So Friday was our poster session, which we did in the style of a conference poster session. Lots of topics, lots of people passing through with passing curiosity. Our main focus was to tackle a topic that is contentious for librarians – there are plenty of controversies on which librarians agree for the most part, after all. You can find Harry Potter on the shelves, right?

Our poster began as a search into controversial forms of funding libraries. After all, the American Library Association is against charging fees of any kind – to the point of being against overdue fines. Charging for services discriminates against those who cannot pay, and discourages those who can. Or so goes the argument. So what did we find? Read more of this post
