Reflective Comments-Library Fundraising-SU Course 600

The project I used for this class was one I had done, a book fair. As I worked through assignments, I was able to create some new ideas for promotion of my own book fairs in my school. In addition, I had to think through the whole event throughly and came up with ways to evaluate the event.

Reflective Comments-Library Budgeting-SU Course 600

This class was somewhat of a review as I already work in a library and have kept track of budgts in several different libraries. Reviewing Excel spreadsheets was a helpful part of this course. One of the required readings was a PowerPoint about Excel that will prove to be an excellent resource to keep in my technology file.

Reflective Comments-Information Management in Schools-SU Course 661

This course was a nice overview of various aspects of management in the library field. I enjoyed the guest discussants who were invited to join us. They provided insight into the library field. The volunteer plan assignment was pertinent as the instructor allowed me to write a policy for the student volunteer helpers in my own library. The group project allowed for collaboration regarding the building of a behavior management policy. I was able, during the course of the project to explore the behavior management policy in my building and now feel more knowledgeable on this topic.
