Blog reflection 1

I didn't know what to expect when I first enrolled in this class or if I would like it. I kept an open mind and I did have some interest in taking a library course considering I used to volunteer filing books at my high school library. So far I am enjoying the class and learning the things that always made me say "a-ha". Reading about the Dewey Decimal system helped explain what the decimal means when it's placed in the call number. What I am most enjoying is learning how to search for information online, getting introduced to e-books, learning about the Library of Congress and how to navigate using different search methods. I definitely know I will be able to apply all the things I am learning for future courses. This is not my first on-line class, however it is somewhat different. I am finding it somewhat difficult to squeeze time to visit the library for assignments and I don't like that we only get 2 hours to check out the reading book. Although it's completely understable why the time is limited I feel rushed and there is so much information to read about. I guess I can't really complain because it is better than having to purchase one but I am sure like many others between work, school, family, and personal stuff having the book at all times would help reading at my own leisure. I am looking forward to learning much more so that I can be effective in reasearching information both on-line and in the library without being frustrated about not understanding what things mean and I'm sure others can agree.
