Our professor in LIS 5564, Information Needs of Children, directed us to write an annotated bibliography on a topic of our choice as though we were creating a small collection at a library for children. I chose STEM for children ages 0-6 for my topic, and the following is my annotated bibliography. Introduction Why STEM for such young children? The following list of recommended purchases is curated for children ages 0 to 6 years old around the topic of STEM. STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering and Math, and this idea has become hot the past 5 or so years. According to research, a child’s will to enter a STEM field for future employment is established before age 14, and the need for even more STEM professionals will grow and grow in the future (Raupp, 2018). Therefore, it is especially important to introduce very young minds to the STEM fields, so they may decide later if those subjects are of interest. Importance of Diversity ...
This is my 13.25 page final paper for a class back when I was studying at LSU. It's all about how the access to the internet may be closing, but do people know how to use the internet effectively? Closing the New Digital Divide INTRODUCTION At first glance the digital divide looks to be closing with the implementation of projects to bring connectivity and computers to underserved populations, and while this work is not yet complete across all nations, much of the first world’s people have access to an internet terminal of some kind. Here in the USA the PEW research institute indicates that as of 2015, 84% of US citizens have access to the internet in one form or another (Rainie, 2015). The reality is, with time and money, access to the internet will be nearly universal in the US, especially as wireless technology and cellular technology expand. But what does access tell us? Only that users can get to technology, not that they know how to best use it. This is an exploration of why u...
For LIS 5703 each student completed a Metadata Application Profile. Here is mine about my ever growing pen collection. INTRODUCTION The collection examined for the purposes of this Metadata Application Profile is a menagerie of pens in my household. The pens have been gathered over years of purchasing, some online, some in brick and mortar stores locally, and some abroad while traveling; some have also been gifts or freebies. The resources are pens of different manufacturers, colors, ink bases, and tips. This will not include other art supplies in my household, such as wax crayons, markers, or watercolors; every Metadata Application Profile must have a scope, such as the Encyclopedia of Iranian Architectural History who created their own MAP only for “ the representation of the resources of the history of Iranian architecture” (Khazraee & Park, 2010, p. 473). Note that Khazraee and Park only use “historic monuments and sites” as their focus for their MAP, not contemporar...
