Introduce Yourself – LIBR200 – Blog Report 1

I’m Tiffany, best known for having a sense of humor equal to that of dry toast.  You will learn from the timing of my posts that I live on the edge, not necessarily by choice.  I love everything 80s except leggings and banana clips.  I have a BA in World Literature from NYU.  I got a Cert in Library Technology from DVC (a local JC) last year.  I have 6-year-old twins and after spending a year in private school because I couldn’t stomach the public school system in our area, we’ve decided to try our hand at homeschooling.  I had never given information literacy a single thought until I had kids, but now find myself pondering how the education of every single person in my community directly informs their decisions, which in turn effects my family and I and our decisions.  I would love to say that I am focusing a career on these ponderings, but admit my heart’s not there.  Yet.  I would love to work in a super fun archive that has a library, or a super awesome library that does some fun, archivey stuff.  I’m kind of over the Bay Area and social media, but I love Baynet.  I try to attend all local libraryish events possible because being in a room full of people excited about information makes me happy.  Additionally, I also love being in school again, although I struggle with the 100% online thing.  The most useful thing I’ve learned over the past year is that I’m really good at overscheduling and underestimating time (but knowing is half the battle, so yay!)  Looking forward to a positive and productive semester with you all!

So true!  The dust isn't going anywhere.
