Mid-Semester Analysis and Reflections


If this blog is to be part of my e-portfolio, then I have some work to do regarding the professionalism of my writing. Several of my blog entries walk a fine line between casual and quasi-scholarly writing, and that is something I will clean up in the coming weeks. It will be good practice to maintain a scholarly bent in all of my posts, whether it is here or on the discussion board.

Speaking of scholarly, as I read through my blogs posts thus far, I keep thinking of ways to thread some of the topics into practical application in my current work as a library paraprofessional and in my future work as a professional. I am interested in expanding on the topic of Disability culture and oppression, as well aging individuals and oppression, and I am continually thinking of ways to turn this topic into a research proposal for my LIS 7996 course that will also serve as valuable research for my own library community.

For the remainder of this semester, I want to revisit my assumptions from the beginning of the semester as a write each new blog post. I am curious to see what assumptions were challenged, and if any have stayed the same.
