Imagine me sobbing...

I have just had a look at some other Professional Portfolios and I think I am going to be sick.

For example  http://abarbakoff.wordpress.com/


Am I supposed to create mine as if I am actually going to use it, or do I follow the assessment criteria, in which case it is not really a professional portfolio??

A work in progress...

I feel like everything I am writing at the moment, that perhaps even my life, should have an ellipsis after it...

In two days I begin my prac at Penrith library. I am excited to be introduced to a new kind of library environment, but at the same time I am feeling stressed about it because it means that I am not really getting a holiday. And after the term I have had I feel like I need one...

I am also working on the Professional Portfolio. I have managed to procrastinate a lot, fiddling over how it looks and how it is layed out. I have no idea what I am actually going to include, the readings I need or the supporting documents that should be attached...

I feel very argh...

Professional Portfolio – Take Two

So after writing that post and getting all my ideas together, I sent off an email to the supervising lecturer as per the subject outline.

And in my attempts to appear clever, and alliterate, I did not get my ideas across as clearly perhaps as they should have been.

As a result there has been some tweaking. 

Therefore I no longer alliterate (though give me time, I might be able to find another word for it before the portfolio has to be submitted), but I do now seem to have a clearer focus.

I will be exploring ‘What is the role of the TL?’ a question that I think encompasses all that I have studied over the past year and a half. Within the broad, and perhaps unanswerable, sphere of that question I will be looking at Literature, Collaboration and Information Literacy.

Wish me luck…

The Final Frontier – otherwise known as the Professional Portfolio

With the new semester about to begin, and the end of this degree fast approaching, I thought it might be about time I got started on the major assignment.

In a fortnight I will be beginning my prac and I need to have it done before I go on holidays to Europe, so I have decided to shore up my ideas and get them off to Roy in order to be able to begin.

I thought it would be easy to choose the topics about which to write. But because I want to be clever this is proving a little more troublesome than expected. 

Here are my musings…

My head hurts but at least I think I know what I am doing.
