MLIS 7505, Applied Library Technologies has given
me a better understanding of the new systems being used by Libraries and
Information Centers to server users needs and provide innovative services that
will help create dynamic communication through Web 2.0 technologies. Getting direct experience using the CMS
program Joomla was a great learning experience. I had not explored RSS feeds before and it was important to
understand what they do and where they can be created. I enjoyed doing a research paper with
my colleagues and I find those group projects to be good exercises in shared
work project, which helps me prepare for the real world workplace work. The individual third project was
helpful in terms of really understanding the differences and commonalities of
Digital Libraries and Digital Repositories. The Maymester lends itself to an accelerated but
enjoyable learning experience and I have to thank D. Yang for doing a great job
in choosing excellent assignments and providing resources that teach to the
subject. Thanks to all my fellow
students for sharing your experiences and opinions as well, I think we learn a
lot from one another.
Best
Dominique
