Work Days: Or what I do on the days I'm not "at school"
Sometimes I feel like I live a double life. Since July, I’ve been interning aka full time working at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online in User Experience and Information Architecture. I work there three days a week and while i’m there, even when I’m…

Today’s post serves two purposes. One: for my fieldwork. Two: to chronicle the first day of Day in the Life of a Library Student for the Hack Library School. I’m currently in my second year of my MLIS at UCLA. I currently intern at Disney as an…

Finishing Up
Today I submitted a document from my second project at Small Demons. I spent over a month closely reading one book and not for many ways we typically read, but for a close reading to determine specific content and data that would be necessary to produce…

Researching
I spent some time this past week researching social media for librarians…Good Reads, Shelfari, Library Thing and now Small Demons has been added to the list. The goal was to discover why librarians use these social sites, and was there a different use…

MLIS, MLS, MSIS, MSI...Which one do you have?
I’ve been doing research for my issue and one of the things I’ve noticed is the extreme lack of consistency between degree titles in the industry. It used to be that everyone just got a Masters in Library Science and that was it. Now its Masters of…

As part of my fieldwork, I’ve been asked to develop a survey tailored to librarians and educators regarding Small Demon’s Storyverseand its Collections. While Small Demons is a relatively new site, it has a lot to offer the Librarians. But after…

Facets, Tags, and Labels, Oh My
I’ve started on a new task this quarter. Well, several new tasks. I’ve begun a fieldwork assignment at Small Demons, a wikipedia-type site that is devoted to the literary world…and all its many connections, twists, and turns. I’m also knees-deep in…

Who Studies Here? A Look at the User Population of the Charles E Young Research Library at UCLA
I had a lot of preconceived notions of the population of YRL (Charles E. Young Research Library) on the UCLA campus. Like many graduate students after the remodel, I felt that the library had been taken over by undergraduates. The new spaces at YRL have…

Creating the Perfect Data Visualization
I probably should have been blogging about my research assistant work as UCLA YRL’s user research intern throughout the quarter and my time on this study. But why not start now. So, a major part of my time on this study is trying to find some way to…

Designing the Digital Humanities Project
Our DH201 project has brought a lot into focus for me. While I’m used to working on collaborative projects and working with people who have many different views, I never experienced so many conflicting ideas…that in many scenarios would be non-starters…

Wikipedia: to Use or Not to Use
I found it interesting this week that our focus this week in class was peer review, open source history and most importantly Wikipedia. When Wikipedia first came on the scene, I was in the process of finishing up my undergrad and as students we were…

Digitizing History
With the election this week, I was interested in the discussion of historical text…or narrative depending on who you ask. I can see why deconstructing history in the digital age can be an interesting problem for historians. On one hand, the historian…

Existing in the Realm of Disciplinary Convergence
When I saw the readings I had for this week’s DH reading round-up, I was annoyed because it was an endless list of what I expected to be theory about theory. I received my BA in Film and English and spent not only my undergrad years immersed in my share…
