The venture experience that I will be taking part in will take me to Boston, Massachusetts where I will be doing research at the JFK Presidential Library. Beyond doing research at the library, this venture opportunity will allow us to take in the many sights of Boston and let us become immersed in the culture. I chose this opportunity for my venture grant because it presents a unique opportunity for me to explore an area of interest while also helping me develop skills that will benefit me as a student and as a leader.

Many college decisions alone are made upon the evaluation of a campus’ facilities, most importantly, the library; the central spot students meet and attain their studies. The Watauga campus of Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute has been neglected and is in dire need of a more sophisticated and modern academic library. Academic libraries benefit students, as well as faculty members. They offer a place for students studying alone or with a group, provide reference materials, and in some snazzy locations, a place to get a cup of Joe. Education is the basis of personal growth and professional success and a library is a wonderful place to begin this journey. According to Derek Rodriguez in the scholarly journal, Understanding Library Impacts on Student Learning, “libraries define, develop, and measure outcomes that contribute to institutional effectiveness and apply findings for purposes of continuous improvement” (7).

I have learnt the value of using the UAL libraries for research for my essay. I feel that it is a great resource to allow me access to books that would deepen my understanding of the assignment by borrowing books about criticising photography. It allowed me to explore many themes, I found that looking at industry professionals’ work that could help me to broaden my argument and find unexpected avenues to research and inform my ideas. I would also like to improve with the essay how I find quotes, as I find it hard to sift through all the books in order to find points that would be relevant in the writing process. I learnt that online research is often not credible because of the originality of the sources but could be useful as a starting point. I found some of the lectures useful in thinking about the different aspects of the writing process because without them there would have been things that I would have not considered. I found Showstudio, an incredible help because it gave me direct insight into the details of Nick Knight’s process towards a final image and also different aspects of Alexander McQueen’s vision. I enjoyed analysing an image that did not have much information written about it because it was only produced in March this year and so I really had to rely on my on dissection of the image and quotes to bring out thought provoking points. However, I found that the objective description of the image difficult because

Effective school librarians actively engage in collaboration with various entities to support students’ educational growth. Teachers, administrators, architects, information technology, and the community are all possible partners of school librarians in supporting the advancement of student’s education as well as ensuring that they become lifelong learners. However, school librarians must partner with germane sources that will help support the curriculum of the school. In the articles for Module Two, the utility of collaboration between school librarians, architects, teachers, and administrators is espoused. If school librarians make forming vital collaborations as one of their goals, then they will empower students, the community, and

I chose the Tigard Public Library (TPL) since I have worked there for eight years. I had to go to Wikipedia to find the number of volumes, 230,000. The website focuses on the building and services available because the new building opened in 2004. The primary types of physical material collected is books, DVDs, CDs, Books on CD and Blu-ray. For the adult collections the majority of items are non-fiction. The fiction is subdivided into general, mystery, and science fiction and Fantasy. Western novels, on request by patrons, have stickers marking them but are shelved with general fiction.

The library is a wonderful place to go to if you would like a quiet place to work. I like being at the library because it is filled with knowledge, and there are many different books that interest me. I enjoy going to the library because walking there clears my mind. Also, there are many books that are available for the public to read and it is a quiet place to do work.

In the academic library that I chose to examine, finding the reference desk is no easy task for the unfamiliar patron. With three major entrances and six floors to navigate, this library is an epitome of what most libraries would strive to have: boundless space for patrons and a vast, growing collection. The patron, however, could easily take one glance at this gargantuan building and easily become overwhelmed, despite the services that this one building contains, such as being combined with financial aid, the information technology (IT) center, and areas to grab coffee and snacks. It is my hope that upon observing and engaging with the reference department that they will prove themselves to be helpful and accessible to patrons known and

They have so many resources you can print but there is a limit of only ten pages not happy about that but other than that you have newspapers, databases, and journals. What I like about the library they don’t mind helping you with your research and citation needs and questions. If the computers are full you can bring your personal laptop with the wireless wifi that they have. The wifi is fast and sufficient you want have to worry about the wifi crashing up on you or the wifi slowing down on you because to many people is on it. When you are detecting a research, you have five steps to go through and to follow. Those five steps are Think like a detective, ask a compelling question, Search for your answers, explore possible sources, and lastly Evaluate the sources. The library has a feature where you can ask the librarian a question if you need help with homework or

In the early seventies, the growing number of people in the GSIS La Mesa Homeowners Association (GLAMEHA) triggered the need for a high school in Lagro Subdivision.
