I really liked yesterday's discussion about the different professions within the industry and how we have all been impacted by being questioned about choosing it. The one thing that I was disoriented by was that the discussion went more towards the profession and not diversity. I had read and taken more interest with the diversity reading because it is something that this profession is lacking in almost every subdivision of the Library and Information Science industry. It still has to do with the profession overall but just wasn't touched on as much as I had thought it would be. Overall the discussion went well because we all for the most part had similar interactions with outsiders of the Library and Information Science profession\industry as a whole.
I am Steph (she\her pronouns), this semester is my third semester with the iSchool. I am very interested in public libraries and how the sense of community applies to all age groups. I am also minoring in Gender and Women studies to help bring a different perspective to my future career in the public library industry. I have worked in the public library industry in two different suburb libraries before coming to school. https://ko-fi.com/alibrarianinprogress
