7. Yes, there is access to the library catalogue, a student
toolkit; research tool kit with methods for researching to help with studying, many
websites such links to help with studying such as Learn Now B.C. and Khan Academy.
8. I like that there
are many links and sub categories to visit for specific information. They have lots of information on learning
such as research methods, project planning guide, etc. There is nothing I particularly dislike.
9. They have a North Surrey Secondary book club, a monthly
concert in the library called Music 4 Lunch and a Media Production Studio.
10. Their circulation
doesn’t differ from ours. They have
policies and rules on digital citizenship, and internet safety.
11. It seems to be a
larger space from what I can see in the pictures. Their website is more in an informative style
with lots of links and information where as ours is in a blog format with lots
of pictures and videos to get information across.

of both libraries are similar, they have similar rules, and resources.

7. The helpful resources on their Learning commons website
include academic integrity and bibliographies, information on copyright, how to videos,
information on downloading ebooks, a list of technology available in the
library, learning links with information on homework, research and projects.
8. I like that they have information on the library for the new
school year, and resources that can help with your academics. As well they have the option to request books
that student would like in the library.

events listed.

website.

10. Same Circulation
as Fraser Heights and I am assuming the policies are the same.
11. It’s different in
the way that their website is quite plain and the blog is not the home
page. However the blog is informative.
12. They have a blog
with similar information.

Blog Post 4B- Library Science Reflection
Library Science Reflection
In my first month of being a
library science student I learned the interworking’s of a library. I have
really enjoyed my first month as a library science student, I like being around
books and having the opportunity of read and work on class work. I’ve gotten
the chance to learn how books are organized in a library through the dewy
decimal system assignment and the shelving assignment. I think in order to be a
good library assistant you need to take initiative; help when you see
opportunities. As well it is important
to check our shelving sections daily.
My strengths include are
knowing the material of the library; I read regularly so I know quite a few
books in the library and I think I’m becoming more comfortable with where books
are located. As well I am organized so
I’m usually on top of my assignments and keeping my shelves organized.
My weaknesses are I
struggled to acclimatize to new concepts, such as the Dewey decimal system, but
now I think I am getting the hang out it.
Another weakness I have is that I can be distracted easily, since we get
free time and it is self-directed it is easy to get distracted. I feel that I am improving, and making good
use of my time.
As I said previously I
really enjoy the library atmosphere and having so many books at arm’s reach. I really enjoy are newest assignment since it
gives me as reason to read a book I bought a while ago, that is also in the
library. Some things that I found
difficult were using the blog; I’m not super great with technology and I prefer
to do things on paper so getting used to the blog was somewhat difficult.
One thing that could make
library learning commons is if we do an inventory of books since often I can’t
find books. I see them appear on the
computer as being here but they aren’t any where I could find in the
library. Another suggestion is to take
suggestions for what new books should be bought for the library from the
library science students. A third
suggestion would to bring back those nice reading chairs we used to have in the
library rather than the bean bags.
