Interim reflection+ video
1.What does it take to be a great Library Learning Commons assistant? What are your strengths? Talk about the things you do well.
The qualities of being organized and friendly makes a great Library Learning Commons assistant. A library needs to well organized with fiction books in alphabetical order by the author’s last name and non-fiction books organized by the Dewey Decimal System. Librarian assistants need to be skilled at organizing to make this happen to make the library have a nice environment for students and visitors to relax and study in. A friendly librarian assistant can make the library a bright place and help students to get a well-suited book for themselves. Similarly, I am a friendly and nice person and my strength is my caring personality. I allow myself help students find books they desire. For example, I have helped a student find the book “The Alchemist” when he had trouble finding it. Also, I have been great at organizing the shelves of the library. I have shelved books in the right places and re-organized books if they were misplaced. On this Tuesday, I had found books in improper order in the non-fiction area and I have re-organized them. I believe that library assistant also needs to be careful and diligent so they don’t misplace books and can keep the library organized.
2.What are your weaknesses in this class and why? How can you improve?
My weakness in this class is perhaps my strength because I find it difficult to carry items that are heavy and I go through the trouble to carry things sometimes due to a weak shoulder. Last year, I have injured my left shoulder by studying for the Socials 11 provincial. I probably put too much tension to make this happen. Maybe, I will go to a bone therapist in the future to make my shoulder fully recover to solve this issue. I could also exercise more and use my upper strength more to make carrying items easier.
3.What have you enjoyed doing? What have you found difficult/frustrating?What have you learned this far?
I have enjoyed organizing books and working at the front desk. I find it enjoyable to help others check in and check out books. I have found carrying things troublesome and tiring due to my lack of strength and an injured shoulder. From this course, I have learned the origins of the Dewey decimal system and ten classes and divisions of the system.
4.What are some ideas you have for making our Library Learning Commons even better? Provide at least three and explain them fully. Post to your blog.
Some ideas to make the library even better are to have coloured printer, more charging electric outlets, and maybe insert an area where newspapers could be put or read.
A coloured printer could help students make more visually appealing posters and can print out colourful images. Some students find it troublesome for them to not find access to a coloured printer when they need it.
More changing electric outlets could let more students charge their phones and laptops as they study. It would be troublesome for a student to have to change places to get to an electric charging outlet. Students would probably find it better if they were accessible to an outlet anytime.
A place where newspapers could be put could maybe allow students to be more aware of the events happening in the world or keep them updated on the current events in BC or other places.
