Fall 2025: LIS 5322

In Fall 2025, I took LIS 5322, Information Sources and Services. The focus of this class was upon various resources that inform library services to the public, including reference services. Much of my efforts were devoted to creating an Information Needs Assessment for a segment of a library’s service population. I chose to look at potential needs and services for dyslexic adults.

Selected works:

Nov. 27, 2025: Information needs assessment for library patrons with dyslexia

Oct. 28, 2025:  Adding collaboration to ‘passive’ reader’s advisory

Sept. 28, 2025: Answering Questions about Geography, Countries, and Travel
