This blog was created with the purpose of exploring the profession of library science and the role that it will play in my future as public librarian. It will also help to complete assignments as they are given in my ISAR 5013 class. As the semester progresses, so many different aspects of information science will be explored that hopefully a certain area will completely capture my attention.
I wish to be a public librarian, and the area that interests me most is adult literacy and the challenges that face these struggling adults. I hope that I can use adult fiction (mystery, sci-fi, fantasy and romance) as a portal for those that need help while at the same time making reading enjoyable.

Jenna, I think using fiction as an incentive to learn to read is an excellent idea. As students, we must read to learn, but I think a lot of people who are tv watchers would be thrilled to learn of all the great written "stories" out there to enjoy! Reading is not just about learning and research! :)
