This month has to be one of the busiest months of the semester for me. My calendar is full of assignment deadlines, a weekend residency, concerts, miscellaneous social engagements, and professional events. I'm excited for all this month has to offer!
I've gotten a lot of email lately promoting various local and regional conferences. (Some I wish that I had been informed about much sooner...) I am hoping my knowledge of these conferences will inspire me to keep such conferences in mind for next year. I truly enjoyed my NYLA Conference experience and I was sad to see an obligation conflict with the School Librarians Conference in May. I enjoy all of the networking and professional development that arises from attending conferences.
In other news, I am considering continuing on for my doctorate. I have always been fond of education and learning as a lifelong process. I would want to stay at SU and pursue an information science and technology focus with a concentration in information and education. I am not sure about what I would want to my research focus to be quite yet; I just know that I am intrigued by the overall topic. Perhaps something I can consider while completing my masters studies. I could see myself becoming a college professor or working in an academic library. My only fear with getting a Ph.D. is being "overqualified" if I wished to teach in the K-12 school system or other library jobs. My pursuit of knowledge is quite fantastical though.
