Introduction & Statement of Professional Philosophy

Hello and welcome to my SJSU MLIS E-Portfolio! At San Jose State University all MLIS graduate students must demonstrate mastery of program learning outcomes in a culminating e-portfolio experience. These outcomes and demonstrations are manifested through reflective essays with theory learned, and evidence with linked artifacts, examples and work experience while in this program. If you would like a plain text consolidated version of this portfolio without the google site’s formatting, please click this link. It will open up a google doc with all content from this portfolio but in simpler formatting. Anything that is underlined on this page is a hyperlink that will take you to that section of the portfolio.

Conclusion & Reflection

Affirmation

All introductory, reflective, and evidentiary work submitted is mine alone (except where indicated as a group or team project with group member names redacted), and has been prepared solely by me.

When making my e-portfolio public I will respect the privacy of others by removing mention in this e-Portfolio of information that could lead to the identity of individuals (team members in group projects, internship supervisors, interviewees, etc.).
