Librarian Lecture/Career Counseling

Last week's presentation was truly shocking. With no offense to Mrs. Jane Faulkner or any other librarian, I did know librarians could be so interesting. I thought it was very intriguing that Mrs. Faulkner's father wrote many books on the history of wine in America. Another part of her life I found extraordinary was the fact that she visited many libraries across The United States and Europe as a child. An interesting note Mrs. Faulkner highlighted during the presentation was the transfer of information. Mrs. Faulkner explained how information is reaching an audience starting with news, going to newspaper, magazine, academic articles, books, government report to the president, and finally encyclopedia. In addition to the info provided, Mrs. Faulkner's presentation has pointed out yet another resource UCSB has to offer. I plan on visiting the library more often and speaking to Jane.

In the career counseling presentation of another great resource here at UCSB. There I learned that any student can walk in and be referred to jobs/internships, receive help choosing a major, receive help planning for a major, or for information on Grad school. They also have a cool website with a job finder and a program that will help you find a career (focus 2).
