Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie, and I am from the Bay Area in California. I am currently an MLIS student at San Jose State University, and this is my fourth semester in the program. I will be graduating in fall, and I am excited to embark on the adventures of the information world. I completed my undergraduate work at CSU Fresno where I majored in Family and Consumer Science.
I am looking forward to this semester and taking LIBR 246. I am interested in exploring different social networking sites and how they will fit into the world of libraries and information. In the current age of Web 2.0 I think it is necessary for new librarians and information specialists to be knowledgeable in the world of social networking and software so that we can interact and aid users to the best of our ability. I look forward to learning with everyone this semester!
I am also interested in how social networking sites can be used in a library setting. I have seen certain library's Facebook profiles and noticed they use them to advertise events in the library. It seems pretty cool! Good luck in the class!
