MLS Portfolio
Summer 2009

My Portfolio
My goal as a MLS candidate was to learn to provide
better service to the public library patrons I assist.
I also wanted to better combine my life as an artist
with my career in the field of Library Science.
The artifacts I have chosen reflect these aspirations.
I have also shown how selected learning outcomes
and professional values of the MLS program
dovetail with these artifacts.

Changes Due to the MLS Program
 Intellectually:
I’m much more willing to consider
diverse viewpoints.
 Professionally:
I have applied my new knowledge
to my work environment.
 Personally:
I am more confident in my ability
to express myself.

Professional Philosophy
I believe that we best serve ourselves and
our growth by giving service to others.
As a librarian, I want to take what I have
learned in my MLS studies and use it to
better serve the patrons at my library.
