Goal II: Systems and Services
II. Students understand the systems and technologies that facilitate the management and use of information resources to serve the diverse needs of users.
a. Students identify and analyze diverse information needs of individuals and communities:
LIS 5020 Foundations of Library and Information Science - Roles of Information Professionals Poster
In this assignment, we analyzed Library and Information Science professionals' myriad roles in their careers. We discussed traditional and emerging roles and presented a poster illustrating our findings of a particular job. I focused on the roles of archivists as I hope to pursue a career in archives or special collections.
b. Students evaluate and select print and digital information resources and systems to meet needs of users.
LIS 6603: Basic Information Sources and Services - LibGuide
In creating my LibGuide on Holocaust Surviorship and Concentration Camp Liberation, I selected various print and digital resources for users such as recommended books, as well as documentaries and recorded interviews.
c. Students understand and use appropriate information technology for information services.
LIS6303 Preparing Instructional Media - Presentation Software Project
Using presentation software from Prezi I created a tutorial for a topic of my choice. Building off of my experience as an undergraduate student at the University of Florida, I presented a tutorial on navigating the Archives and Special Collections at UF. I specifically chose Prezi because the software caters to concise and user-friendly presentations, intended to efficiently demonstrate complex tasks and streamline them into accessible short tutorials.
