Web Portfolios
Since starting at SI the great people in Career Services have stressed that all MSI students should have an online portfolio, including us archives and library folks.
Well, I must say I put this task off thinking it would be too much work and not worth the effort. I felt like I did not have enough experience to make a portfolio. Now that I am in my last semester I have finally put one together. You can check it out here.
It feels good to see my work experiences, skills I have gained from classes, and projects all in one place. I have some more ideas on how to structure my presentation more effectively and add information on additional projects. I'll be working on this in the upcoming weeks.
Did I mention that creating the portfolio was super easy? One of the benefits of a place like SI over more traditional library and archives programs is the exposure to technology and design. In today's world these skills are essential for all information professionals, including archivists and librarians.
