It's been nearly 7 months since I last blogged, and I have new things on my mind now in the library field, like thinking seriously about job applications, opportunities, etc. It's exciting, albeit a bit overwhelming! I decided that I need to get http://sapientiaetveritas.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-blogging.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mariposa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983838786225922350.post-7353125931699317956Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:11:00 +00002008-09-18T17:27:29.475-07:00communicationcomputerized greetingsSo, yesterday I was on a bus and had an interesting experience. As I was walking towards the bus I heard a clearly feminine voice greeting passengers saying "hello"; it took me a minute to realize that the hello was not from the bus driver, but the "Hello" was merely a recorded computer greeting. Hmm. I had never had this experience on the bus before. As the bus continued on, the voice continued http://sapientiaetveritas.blogspot.com/2008/09/talking-buses.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mariposa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983838786225922350.post-7671452872657231270Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:42:00 +00002008-07-17T19:46:36.871-07:00Pope Benedicttext messagingworld youth dayA neat example of technology at the service of the Gospel, used by the Pope himself! I thought the Pope's text message to WYD participants (even using some texting lingo) was cute...showing how he is willing to us today's tools to connect with the youth of today.http://sapientiaetveritas.blogspot.com/2008/07/holy-father-sends-first-text-message.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mariposa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983838786225922350.post-3086685010602749348Wed, 18 Jun 2008 23:49:00 +00002008-06-25T16:28:21.977-07:00digital librariesinformation literacySince I began Library School last fall, as well as my job as the Reference and Instruction Department graduate assistant at a university library, I have developed mixed feelings about the direction of libraries as a whole. There is such a tension in the field right now between those who are rallying for change and technological innovation, always lobbying for the use of the latest technologies http://sapientiaetveritas.blogspot.com/2008/06/since-i-began-library-school-last-fall.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mariposa)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983838786225922350.post-6498959753097092609Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:15:00 +00002008-06-13T09:29:01.375-07:00For my practicum this summer, I have been working with creating taxonomies. While very new to the topic, in the past two weeks I have done a lot of research about the creation and use of taxonomies in information science and knowledge management, and it is a very interesting and constantly evolving tool.

He makes some interesting observations about the affects of electronic resources and the internet on different facets of scholarship.
