IOS User Guide

 Hello! 

For this blog I wanted to add an iPhone/IOS user guide because I felt it could be very useful for teaching others to use technology. Many people who attend libraries don't have computers and come to the library to use the free Wi-Fi on their phone, or as I have witnessed think that it's a safe space to get help with learning how to use their phone. The iPhone is not the only phone people have, but seems to be the most common and I felt have a user guide allows people to learn how to use some of the apps that are available and set up their phone in a way they can understand. On a personal level, I have not used blogs very much other than for some guidance on assignments, but I have experience with assisting people with technology and have helped many older adults with their phones (mainly iPhones) because they struggle with understanding all the technology, especially when their family members believe they should have the most advanced technology without taking into consideration if they can learn how to use it. However, using this program was very easy and enjoyed being able to see each of the posts before adding mine. I also appreciated the layout of the program and it made created a post much easier

Libraries as Social Hubs (brianna curran)

All over the world, libraries have become a social hub for their local demographics. Public, academic, and private libraries all offer a space for patron’s to connect, learn, and express themselves.  A study done through Michigan State University reported findings that suggest that “non-classroom settings function as social hubs, help make intellectual and creative work visible to the larger learning community, and provide access to important resources''. This study also states that non-classroom settings help facilitate community formation and identity. Public libraries offer a variety of events to the local community. The events offered will vary depending on the library. The San Marcos branch of the San Diego Public Library offers baby story time, crafting for ages 9-14, art & culture crafting, free English classes for adults, family story time, crochet and knitting club, toddler time, Japanese story time, bilingual story time, chess club, and more. These are all free re...

The Demise of School Libraries

If so, why? Could it be because during the pandemic schools learned they could function without them? That maybe the library isn't as important to students as they were once thought to be? Has the funding been cut so much, that there is no room in the budget for a functioning library and staff?      In 2019, there were 20% fewer school librarians tha...

Libraries and Student Success (brianna curran)

  Libraries have always played a huge role for student success. They provide a multitude of resources for students, free internet and technology access, quiet places to study, tutoring, and more. Libraries contribute to student success in terms of helping students progress in their knowledge and persistence as university students. Lisa Massengale, Pattie Piotrowski,  and Devin Savage published a study that Identifies and Articulates Library Connections to Student Success. Their findings report “the library fills a unique role for students and provides a trusted network of people, spaces, and resources that help set the stage for students to succeed in terms of persistence and providing a sense of community. The role of the libraries may be that of facilitators of a scholarly community. qualitative research revealed four themes from the students in terms of how libraries help them succeed: space, people, place, and resources and service”.  Works Cited EBSCO and Library plu...
