LOR 101

This class is not what I expected it would be.

It has EXCEEDED my expectations. I'm not ju

st brown-nosing.

Just being honest. I think I came into the class thinking I wouldn't get anything out of it.

I've sat through eight library presentations from Linda Bartnik, all of which were AWESOME and informative and helpful. Signing up for this class, I kinda felt like I had "been there, done that."

So here's to you, Ms. Farmer.

One of the most interesting topics we have covered in this class is the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is home to the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, and over 32 million cataloged books and other print materials in 470 languages - the archival super center of American history. I am intrigued. I want to go. I am thankful for our country's ability to document and preserve primary sources. Better than that, there is an online database for the Library of Congress. YES!

The Dewey Decimal System, Boolean Logic, Truncation...all of these topics have contributed to me becoming a more efficient researcher. But most of all, I have enjoyed learning about the Library of Congress.
