0Today I made some notes on the IC website and added them to the word document on the desktop. I checked a couple shelves in the reference area to make sure they were in order. Then, I checked out some of the Information Commons LibGuides.

0Today I completed the Photoshop tutorials on Moodle. Then I worked on my Photoshop flyer for the day! I made some progress, but there are still a few things I want to tweak next week.

0Today I shelved some reference books and directed a student to the third floor to find a book she was looking for. I also played around with some of the databases.

0Today I started the Photoshop training. I watched all the training videos, and feel pretty comfortable with using Photoshop because I am learning it in one of my classes. There was a problem with the tutorials listed on Moodle, so I emailed Michelle to let her know that those were not available. Then I started working on my flyer. I also picked up a LiveScribe pen for Chasadee in the Purchasing office in Holcomb.

0Today I finished fine-tuning my WordPress portfolio! I got everything formatted the way I want it and just need to upload my resume once that is updated. I’m happy with the way it turned out and added a link to it on my LinkedIn account. I also did some more work on Dreamweaver. I finished the quiz on Moodle worked on understanding the basics of publishing Dreamweaver websites.

0Today I worked on my WordPress professional portfolio. I also helped an alumni that came in with WordPress questions for about a half an hour to fourty-five minutes. She was interested in starting a WordPress site in the near future and had mostly design and funcitonality questions. I used my website that I was working on to show her some different themes and the customizable features they each come with.
In regards to my WordPress, I was having trouble finding out how to download new plugins. I found a plugin online that would allow posts to be listed on certain pages depending on the category of that post (like on the IC blog). But, I couldn’t figure out how to implement this plugin and activate it on my website. Once I can figure out how to do that, I will be pretty satisfied with my professional portfolio.
I also reviewed Excel videos and practices again to check my knowledge. I also read an interesting article I found on LinkedIn about Google Glass its expectations. The device seems very innovative and useful, and Google developers are trying to get it on the market by the end of this year! This was really fascinating to me and I’m thinking CAT should be involved with future Google Glass training! 😉

0Today in the library I put away some reference books and checked a couple shelves to ensure they were in order. I also helped a student with scanning a large image. For the rest of the time, I experimented with database searches and looked at the parking map and the library map.

0Today I finished my reflection and sent it to Meg & Amy! Then I worked on updating my wordpress site and changing it so it was more of a professional portfolio. I made sure things were the way I wanted them to be throughout the site and added a lot of information about myself and academics. This gave me more WordPress experience and made it really easy to make a professional portfolio.
