Spanish Speaking in Idaho

So, I just graduated from iSchool at UW and have my MLIS and therefore I don’t ever need to learn anything ever again, right?

 I know you could see the sarcasm bleeding right out of that sentence. The answer is: WRONG! So, I attended the Spanish Speakers outreach program hosted by the Idaho Commission for Libraries, and WebJunction and not only is this outreach plan basically the best thing I’ve ever used, but I’ve learned how to tackle some of the big subjects! It also made me exhausted because of how much I learned!

If you can’t attend a workshop, log on to WebJunction and go to Spanish Speaking Outreach. You can use the action plan for any user group. So awesome. Let’s go!

I also found via WebJunction some great resources for researching Hispanic American genealogy. For example, the finding aid for microfilm of border crossings from Mexico to the US 1903-1948.

I graduated in Idaho

I passed my final examinations for my portfolio for my MLIS. I’m not quite done, but hey, I did it. Way to go me! This program was the best thing I have ever done with my life so far. Besides meet my guy.
