Library Wiki: University of Ghana, Balme Library

I decided to do a Wiki on the university library of a university campus close to me in Ghana. My father is part of the faculty at the university, he teaches entomology, and I spent most of my childhood on the university campus. The University of Ghana, Legon is one of the major universities in the country and it is also one of the oldest.

The library is an academic library that serves the entire student body of the university and the faculty and staff, as well as the university research teams who may or may not be teaching faculty. Some of the researchers are teaching faculty and others are just working as part of a research team for the university.

I was completely clueless about this assignment and it took me forever to find the right wiki and make it work for me. I settled on wikispaces after I read a small piece about wikis I saw classmate use had used wikispaces, and I read that it was mostly used for academic purposes.

This is the link to my library wiki:

Second Post!!!

So I have eight views so far... Interesting! I wonder who those mysterious eight could be? Don't just look, leave comments, talk to me!! Anyway, I have always been a private person but I am enjoying myself here. Blogging isn't so bad after all...

I realize I haven't actually talked about myself, so here goes:

I am a first year MLIS student at Valdosta State University, I got my Bachelor's in Psychology from Georgia State University in 2011. I am hoping to finish in December of  2015 or May 2016, and start out in the field as a Librarian. I used to think I was such a computer and technology whiz when I was younger but lately I feel like I am a century behind when it comes to current technology, hopefully I will catch up soon.

I love to read, have fun, shop, and do a lot of random things that I cannot mention, yet. I just think it is a bit to early to share my slight craziness with the world. But I like to think I am well rounded and open minded with a dash of humorous craziness.

And I find myself rambling and so, I will end on this note.

Until the next couple of hours...

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!
My name is Korkor Wilson and I am a first year Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) student. I am in  my second semester this summer and this blog is for one my classes, MLIS 7505: Applied Technologies in Library Practice. I heard that the class was fun, and so far I am really enjoying it. I mean, I get to use social media for class credit! Totally Awesome!

Until my next posting...
