MLIS Candidate – School Library

“Libraries are where it all begins.” – Rita Dove

Hello! Welcome to the ePortfolio for my Masters of Information and Library Studies degree with an emphasis on School Librarianship at Old Dominion University. Currently, I am entering my third year as the teacher librarian at Adrienne C. Nelson High School in Happy Valley, Oregon. In this ePortfolio, you will not only see elements of my growth as a school librarian, but frequent application of best practices of school librarianship and content knowledge of library science applied to the ANHS library program. I owe much of my success in opening this brand new library to the knowledge I have gained through ODU’s MLIS program, and look forward to showcasing the elements of this growth in the introduction video above.

Please see a video walkthrough of my portfolio here in an Introductory Video.
