Welcome to Paul Rubio's e-Portfolio website, the requirement for the MLIS degree at Dominican University's Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
The left-hand sidebar contains the links to all the pages of this website.
Here is a summary of the contents:
There are the 15 artifacts for the 5 learning goals, each on an individual outcome page:
Goal 1: Outcome 1a, Outcome 1c, Outcome 1d
Goal 2: Outcome 2a, Outcome 2c, Outcome 2d
Goal 3: Outcome 3a, Outcome 3b, Outcome 3c
Goal 4: Outcome 4a, Outcome 4b, Outcome 4d

Also included underneath all these are my resume and reflective essay on the artifacts and my experience studying for my MLIS degree.
Acknowledgements
I have so many people to thank for all their support as I studied for my MLIS.
I thank my professors who worked hard to help me grow in my skills as a library/information science professional. I especially thank them for taking the time address all my questions, sometimes a constant stream of them, even related to the assembly of this website. I also thank my colleagues I've worked with at my practicum site at Argonne National Laboratory who have spent time showing me their work, and especially Mary, who has taken me under her wing. I also thank my colleagues at the Oak Park Public Library who have helped me grow as a professional and been part of a great working environment. I especially think of my manager Martyn who hired me to be on the team.
I also thank my family and friends, many of whom have shown genuine interest and support for me in my studies. I think especially of my Dad who read through my reflective essay and offered feedback. And I thank both of my parents for the unbelievable amount of support they've shown throughout my studies, showing themselves to be my biggest cheerleaders, as they have throughout my life.
Pursuing my MLIS has indeed been an opportunity of a lifetime to fulfill my life's vocation which God has granted me, and so I offer back the work I have done and will do in thanks to Him and for His glory.
