Fall 2012 Update

Fall 2012 is here and so is another semester! This semester is an exciting one because I am taking 2 courses online: one across the country in Texas and one internationally in Australia! I've also begun my countdown to graduation in May 2013!

I am enrolled in Adult Reading Interests through the University of North Texas, which is a reader's advisory course where we cover many popular genres of fiction.  The class is underway and I will be posting my picks for the genres I am reading in class, as well as helpful tips for reader's advisory at the library and for personal use!

My other class, Social Networking for Information Professionals, is at Charles Sturt University in Australia! As a blogger and the Ames Free Library "Tweeter", I am excited to delve into new and exciting social media sites to build on my knowledge and skills.  This class begins in November, as it follows a European class schedule.

I am enjoying learning on an online platform and look forward to being an International student! Stay tuned for my first genre in reader's advisory: Mysteries!
