I'm really liking the topic for this week's discussion. As I told a friend of mine yesterday, I'm currently taking virtual work very seriously at the moment, and when I say 'virtual work,' I mean virtual employment, not just an internship. I believe I am somewhat self-motivated, since after taking the quiz, I found I scored in the 'okay' department. Turns out I can achieve more than what I am doing, and surprisingly, I believe it with everything that's gone on in my academic life right now.
Last night, I met with Dr. Simmons, my ePortfolio advisor, in her online Collaborate office hour, to talk to her about the comment she made on my Comp N. I had to revise it because my explication was nowhere near being related to the library science field, and it sounded like I had just done a general Internet search for a few keywords in the comp and wrote a mini research paper on it. The real idea is to use my own knowledge from the program, use outside sources to back up my ideas, and apply what I have learned in the evidence section. As of yet, I have 9 passed and submitted number 10 (Comp N), so I've got 4 to 5 more to turn in and pass. After speaking with her, I motivated myself to go back and look at all the PDF files I had downloaded from past semesters and read through them. I also logged into the King Library website to use the EBSCOHost database and look into some articles there.
One thing I did mention last night, too, was the Ken Haycock Portable MLIS. I found it on Amazon, but I was thinking more along the lines of borrowing it from somebody so I don't have to buy it. Just wondering if anyone has it...
