SLO 6 – The student applies appropriate technology for effective information services.

The integration of technology into libraries and information agencies is paramount to the continued success and evolution of the field. Gone are the days of card catalogs and exclusively printed periodicals; now, libraries are moving towards the prevalence of electronic resources in their collections. Understanding technology and the applications therein is key to becoming a successful library professional. This could be the incorporation of video tutorials and flipped classroom techniques in instruction, or the development of an information literacy core curricula that stresses digital fluency along side information access. UNC Greensboro allowed me to take a long-standing interest and skill in technology and let it drive my coursework and professional career.
