"You need a graduate degree for that?" -R. David Lankes
So, considering that this blog is intended, in part, to help chronicle my doings as a Library and Information Science grad student, it seemed only logical to follow the example of many of my classmates and post my YouTube video here. The assignment: create a video answering the question above, posed by our illustrious professor, R. David Lankes. The process: long and sometimes painful and frustrating. The result: something with which I am satisfied, even pleased. Sure, there are little things here and there I would have changed if I wasn't already SO ready to be done. But as a whole, it turned out the way I wanted it to, which is about all I can really ask for.
Without further ado, I give you- The JoplinMuse Librarian.

(I do want again to give special thanks to my brother-in-law, Ryan Merrill, who patiently helped walk me through the process of creating an iMovie with sound. Thanks also to my sister, Kirsten Merrill, who was willing to help and helped direct me to her husband when she became occupied with her own film edits for school. And I'd like to thank Prof. Lankes for issuing this assignment. Despite the headaches, I appreciated the way I had to really think about what I'm doing- and what I hope to do- as a librarian and information scientist, and I appreciated the pressure on my creativity because pressure is often how I work best, even if I don't always like it...
