My QR Code

This was an interesting endeavor. I have never used a QR Code and here I am creating one. I have heard of them and have seen them around, but I never made the effort to download the app to read the codes. So this was a first all around for me.

The Start of Module 3

After the last five days of wrestling with Joomla, I think I won! 

Cherese Joomla Website

What I've Learned So Far

Module 1 showed me that social media is prevalent in academic and public libraries. It is mostly used to broadcast information to library users and potential library users. There is some debate about who should be in charge of social networking site (SNS) maintenance and how to evaluate its effectiveness. Each library has to determine its goal for social networking sites. They have to have a strategic plan for implementing and maintaining the accounts. I also learned

Joomla!

I have been having a tough time.

We have just entered Module 2 of an intensive three-week journey through Applied Tech Library Practice #MLIS7505. I was totally excited about building my own website. I watched the tutorials. My mind was blown with how easy everything was and all the cool options I could explore. I thought about what kind of website I wanted and the color scheme. I was ready. Then I sat down at my computer.

Is it me or does Joomla hate my Mac?

I started off well. I signed it. Then everything went to pot. The screen I saw was NOT the screen on the tutorial. There was nothing indicating that I had skipped a step or anything like that. But here I was stuck without any idea how to get that screen from the tutorial to show up on my computer. I was beyond stressed. So I said, "Maybe tomorrow."

Tomorrow was no better.
