Capstone Portfolio Fall 2010
Narrative Overview
Display at the Guilford Free Library, Guilford, CT
This online portfolio was created to demonstrate the knowledge I have gained in my time attending classes at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). I began the degree program in January of 2009, and anticipate completing the program and obtaining my Master of Library Science degree in December of 2010, taking all of my classes online.
This program has deepened my respect for the responsibilities and privileges shared by librarians everywhere. The courses I have taken developed my understanding of library practice, allowing me to explore the theories of librarianship. They have also underscored the importance of continuing my education beyond school, keeping up with the latest research and best practices of the profession.
