I have two key attributes that will help me in future jobs. First, I am flexible, ready to accept changes, and eager to work towards them. Second, I intend to continue learning for the rest of my life. Together, these two traits will ensure that I can utilize future technologies and work with a variety of different coworkers and patrons.
Throughout the semester, I have gained a deeper understanding of the different roles that an LIS professional plays. There is a lot more to the job than choosing books, cataloging them, shelving them, and helping patrons find them, and that's wonderful! I look forward to a job where I get to do many different things every day.
From here I am ready to continue taking classes and work hard outside them to get more experience. I currently have a job as a library page, and while that does constitute library experience, it is not the experience that I am trying to get. I plan on being more active within student organizations so that I can gain skills in digitization and metadata even before I have the opportunity to take classes that focus on those skills.
