My school is the iSchool!

Welcome to JL's 2Cents.  This is where I have recorded my experiences and my journal of learning during my time as a student in pursuit of a Master of Library and Information Science degree.

Prior to being accepted into the University of Washington Online MLIS program, I took classes at Walla Walla Community College to explore various areas of interests in order to discover a new career path.  Eventually, I realized that an MLIS from the UW iSchool would be a good fit for me.  Though I had already applied to the online MLIS program, I decided to take LIB 110 Introduction to Information Resources: Research for the 21st Century through WAOL as one of my "exploration" classes during Winter Quarter 2008.  As a result, I was all the more convinced that the Information School MLIS program was where I wanted to be, come fall quarter.

The MLIS program has provided a way for me to bring together my passions, interests, skills, and experiences in a fresh, new way.  I look forward to where my new career path will take me.

iSchool is an amazing institution comprised of an amazing community of people, and being an iSchool student has been an amazing journey.  I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I have enjoyed living it!
