MLIS Degree Earned _ May 2009

I am actually signing in to the blog for the first time in a very long time. I started this blog while earning my degree in Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh. As of May 2009, I graduated with my MLIS. The ceremony was held on St. Croix at the University of the Virgin Islands Campus.

Last evening, I was able to add the External Style sheet to the Thoreau's piece. Quite excited to know that my website is ready to be submitted. It was the most challenging assignment for LIS 2600. Then... the news feed disappeared!

Yeks!

Success!- 10 hyperlinks added

I was able to add the 10 hyperlinks to Thoreau's piece.

I am working diligently on this website to make sure that I complete this challenging website assignment.

This course has been a rather difficult one for me this semester. I was shoved into learning and manipulating with the computer in ways that out of my schema of informational technology.

At the same time, it has broaden my knowledge about the technological advances that librarians must be able to manipulate with in order to serve their patrons in the ever-changing means of gathering online and analog information.

I have not mastered the inline styling of the Thoreau assignment and my BBC news link just disappeared. When this happens, which has been frequent throughout the semester, I question the reliability of getting information online.

Thank God, for team-work, diligence and willpower.

Lots of my successes are still "work in progress".

I have tried to delete the empty grazr box from my blog to no avail. However, there is a grazr box below that has my connotea and delicious searches. To my surprise, my zoom clouds just appeared on its own. Weird? or was it suppose to happen just like that?

I am so frustrated by this rather challenging assignment of creating a webpage. I don't have vast knowledge of what the underlining of a website is like so I guess that is the first frustrating part of this assignment. I am trying so hard and still hitting walls. Thanks to Kim, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. Somehow, I am still trying to remain optimistic about the end product! ... oh, how I constantly wonder about my grade for this class.

I am having such a difficult time getting my website completed. The major difficulty is getting the blog, Grazr with connotea and del.icio.us posted. I am hoping that tonight's chat with Dr. Tomer would provide some needed answers to some of the most difficult questions. Thanks goodness for VI teamwork in some instances.
