Supervisor: Joy, Les,

Here is an image of my schedule. The 12th is highlighted in yellow. I did not have Statistics

I regret that I forgot to take a selfie for this day. I did not have Statistics because Angela, who had just returned from a trip, felt that working on LibGuide 3 was more important. The document of LibGuide 3 turned out to be the same as LibGuide 2 so instead I was told that I could just work on my assignments due next week.

I collected resources for the MATH 3300 class using two text books Katz, V.J. A History of Mathematics

which was the official textbook mentioned in the syllabus that was put into the Drive; I will only share a snapshot of a portion syllabus.

The following book by Burton, D.M. The History of Mathematics: An Introduction

I used to garner biographical information on Euclid and a different explanation on the postulates an definitions.

As I said in the previous log, I misunderstood what this assignment was about and I created a fake lesson. The topics covered are listed to the right. I chose to focus on ancient math and Euclid. I created the following:

A Lesson Plan

A Lesson Plan Template

Canva Presentation

Google Classroom with:

Resources, Rubric, Videos, Databases, 2 Assignments, Assessment

Quizizz Assessment

This are just screenshots, I will provide the links in my final log as that is when the class was presented.

Presentation: Future of Cataloging

I wanted to present the future of cataloging as it pertains to MLS programs, current technical skills needed by catalogers, and the future which involves AI. I based my arguments on:

1. Jaya Raju; Information Professional or IT Professional? The Knowledge and Skills Required by Academic Librarians in the Digital Library Environment

2. Jiebel Luo & Rong Tang; Data competency for academic librarians: Evaluation present trends and future prospects

3. Kasim Binici; What are the information technology skills needed in information institutions? The case of "code4lib" job listings

Some of the ideas revolved I took was that MLS programs need to incorporate more computer, data and information courses that are typically in the MLIS degree program, OR that part of courses currently provided should require outside course material such as certifications or Coursera,

4. Richard Brzustowicz, The implications of Artificial Intelligence on Library Cataloging

Was my introduction into using AI like ChatGPT to create MARC records; I created some for Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned as the examples in his paper were for Interview with the Vampire.
