Excerpts from 'A journey to finding me' Eps 10

28th September Had my first library training today with Jesse at CMRS, I love that I am going to have so much accessible to me and I am hoping that I can use it well. I enjoyed the ILLIAD library program and E journal sources system. Learned cataloguing Grey Files, Libguide search systems. I hope that I can master all this so that I can be helpful to library users which Is really my responsibility as the librarian. We had our IHRl 511 class on Skype today, I thought it was a brilliant idea and yet the internet was a menace. I impressed at how patient Dr. Korhonen was with the system, even when we l kept getting cut off and not hearing clearly. It was such an interesting experience and people were extremely cooperative. I found it helpful although reading what kind students were typing for the rest of us who could not hear clearly. On the whole what stood out for me was when she expressed that using our daily life encounters as sources for writing is one of the ways we can build our writing skills. It makes so much sense now as I reflect on what I have experienced or heard people say and how much of that I can use in my writing, I often misunderstood good writing to be based on research rather than what I encounter in my life as an individual and how my attitudes values and background form what I write about.
