SJSU-SLIS-289

Another model for clearly organized and well written portfolio.

Nicely organized e-portfolio

The paradigm is all....

I never took a research course so this site helps me organize and understand research concepts so I can figure out what I did in my SLIS career that points to my understanding of these concepts.

Good summary of Belkin's ASK model

In my opinion, Information Literacy Instruction is related to the research process and critical thinking skills.

I have to explain the main models or concepts behind information seeking for Competency J. The commentaries are good because some try to defend, others agree with the writer.

An example of how Diigo is useful for presenting a collection of resources. I used this Book Club in a Bag marketing project for Competency D.

A way to organize one's thoughts and writing

Might come in handy when planning an essay or a battleplan for all the comps

"Build a personal research library. As a graduate student, one of the things you are most likely to be doing at any given time is reading (although you'll note that @j_l_r below recommends not doing all of what's assigned!). You will read articles, book chapters, and entire books much faster than you would have ever thought possible. And unless these articles fall into your area of interest, you might be inclined to forget about them as soon as the seminar meeting is passed. But we'd like to suggest that you begin as early as possible in your studies to build a personal research library. A personal research library is a record of what you've read and what you thought about it. It can be as simple as a citation, a few keywords, and a brief abstract. We'd recommend using Zotero (see Amy's posts on Getting Started with Zotero, parts One and Two) or EndNote, but even a box of 3x5 cards is better than trying to remember that really great essay from your first semester in grad school five years down the road when you're writing your dissertation. A little extra work now will pay big dividends in the future, especially if you change your research project."

I see this as especially important for that e-portfolio I did for library school. I did a lot of extra research because I didn't remember/know where to find many of the articles I had read that would be useful support for my ideas on the competencies.

For $10, building and hosting a website is included. They make it simple.
