I was surprised at how little things that I know about sound so technically advanced. It makes me feel as if I know more than what I had thought that I knew. I have to say that I think spreadsheets are my weakness, though, I can get by in them. I think spreadsheet formulas are like cataloging. If you do not use them every day, then you have to refer to the manual. Some of the things they were requesting information for, I had to actually think about what they were talking about before giving my answer. I take things for granted without thinking about terminologies. I took Website Development class. I wish that I would have received more from the class than I did. I felt as though my instructor was a “Techie” as one instructor put it, and not an instructor, which I completely agreed with. However, it was a good learning experience. I find that some areas overlap a bit in knowledge. I think that I need a higher knowledge of terminology for some of these processes. This was a good learning experience to better aid one in understanding where one’s skills rest and insightful in giving wisdom into areas that need improvement.

Introduction: Tamara


Hello, my name is Tamara and I am happy to be a part of this class as a late add-on. Ms. Griffith has been gracious enough to permit my entrance as a last notice entry. I am employed at the Ivy Tech Logansport Campus' LRC as a lab technician. You can find information on the Logansport Campus here: http://ivytech.edu/kokomo/. I have just finished my practicum at the Delphi Public Library. You can find information about this wonderful library here: http://www.carlnet.org/dpl/. It was a wonderful and exciting experience and I pray that everyone who is in the LTA program receives such a blessing in their practicum experience as I did. I had planned on transferring to Clarion University of PA for the online BS in Liberal Studies with a major in Library Science. You may find information on this school located here: http://www.clarion.edu/. Unfortunately, I have had a bad experience in the transfer process and was not happy with the service provided. Thus, I have sent a withdrawal form and in process of setting that straight. I had my heart set on pursuing a Bachelors degree specifically centered on library science. I guess it just will not be the case. I am back at looking into IUPUI and working through IUK. This will commence as soon as I get my two classes set on track and financial arrangements finalized. It has been a very busy Summer. Travelling back and forth with work and practicum has kept me hopping. I will welcome the peace of going part-time as I seek out transfer opportunities. Good luck to everyone in class and may all your pursuits be profitable.
