I have been reading up on the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Once I began reading it, there was so much information I didn't want to put it away(I actually wish you could check them out).
The internet is fairly big part of my life of daily communication with Dena and Lib3, as well as family and friends.
I think the library will always be needed, even though we can access so much information on various search engines. You still can't access everything such as the aforementioned, LCSH. I don't think the experience of going to a public, university, or college library is quite the same as just sitting at your computer in home or office.
When I went on my Library visit, I had forgot how exciting it was to get out and mingle with the people as well as the librarians, who have so much knowledge to offer, and are just plain willing to help you in any way they can in accordance with their expertise.
I had such a good time, I shared it with my family, and my granddaughter wants me to take her the next time I go.
I must say Dena, I had never really kept anything like a diary so to speak, but this blogging kind of puts me in the mindset of writing a diary of my thoughts and activities. It is something different for me, as for the most part I am a very private person. I must say I am enjoying each and every assignment you give us each week because of the challenge and your style.
I have had a ball researching the last 2 assignments given regardng Evaluating Internet Info, and Hoaxes and Urban Legends on Snopes.com
I find my self going back to check more and more information I receive on a daily basis, to make sure the information recieved by me, or info that I may pass on is accurate and true. This is a great course, and I am glad I took it.
