This is it!

Hi everyone!  I’m Laurie, and this is the blog I created for SCSU’s ILS 599.  This is my second to last class in the program.  By the end of the year I will finally have my Master’s.  Phew!  This is my third summer in the program; I will take my final class in the fall.  I have been lucky to work in libraries while in school, so I have been content to take classes part time—but I will be VERY relieved to graduate.  As far as my life outside of work and school is concerned, I live with my husband and two cats, all of whom will also be relieved to see me graduate! 

I am very excited about the format of this class.  I love the idea of using the web 2.0 tools we are learning about, but I have to admit to having a degree trepidation about creating a live web presence. (I am ordinarily a chronic lurker.)  :)   I bow to the educational process, though, and vow to get absolutely the most that I can from the experience…
