I believe this portfolio is an accurate representation of me as an information professional however I still remain unsure of whether or not I will use it professionally in the future. I have found that contributing and compiling evidence of my work is a useful exercise for reflecting on my experience as an LIS student and as a new graduate. This portfolio shows the breadth of my work as a student whether it is from using social media, writing reports, or showing my technical skills. It also shows my ability to reflect and critically analyse my work and events I have attended and find out how they help me become a better information professional. My ability to reflect and learn from different situations is my best attribute as an information professional and my portfolio accurately depicts this. Reflecting on events was the most entertaining aspect of keeping this portfolio and I truly believe it has helped me become a better professional.
I sincerely hope I have the motivation to keep developing my
portfolio after graduation. If I am being honest with myself I will probably
not remember to keep updating it unless something extraordinary happens. With
my apathy being the case the most important lesson I have learned from building
and maintaining the portfolio over the past 1.5 years is how important it is to
reflect on significant professional events or even the seemingly insignificant
reflection on using a new piece of software. Keeping the portfolio has taught
me to reflect on everything and if I can at least do that mentally I think I
will be on my way to becoming a good information professional.
All in all I enjoyed compiling data for this portfolio. My
intention is to maintain it for as long as I can into the future. I believe
using a program like Blogger which is tied to my Gmail account increase the
chances of me updating the blog into the future.
