As one of the first classes I took as part of my MLIS I found that 510 was challenging in many ways. It was the first time I had taken an online courses, worked on group projects online, and also the first time I had through about how information flows from person to person and system to system.Out first project for the class was writing about information grounds—places where information is exchanged or shared, but not places where people go expressly to gather information. For example, my group chose to study outdoor markets like farmer’s markets in our area, and the Portland Saturday Market in Portland Oregon. Here is that very first MLIS paper.
The main objective of the course was to research and study one group of people and see how they searched for, found, and where they went for information, and also create a model that would represent the group’s information needs and process. My group focused on K-12 students and found a plethora of information on them. We created a full presentation, broken into smaller parts. Here is my portion of the presentation, the Literature Review for it in Internet Explorer and Fire Fox.
