Requirements:


Write one blog post in the form of a short reflection on some of the readings you have done on a topic related to Library and Information Studies (250-500 words). The guidelines below can act as a guide for your reflection. It is important to raise at least one question about the subject you are reflecting on to engage other readers in a discussion about your chosen topic. These questions will be shared on other social media sites to engage other information professionals in a discussion on your chosen topic.


Guiding questions for articles:


-What is the focus of the article/chapter?
-What kinds of contributions do the readings make (theoretical, framework, insights, practical, etc.) 
 to understanding your chosen topic?
-Is the evidence the author presents convincing to you? Why/why not?
-What is strong/weak about the article?
-What do you agree/disagree with?
-How would you change the research or what else do you wish the authors had considered?
-What connections can you make between these articles and others?
-Does it support, challenge, extend, or contradict other readings you've done?
-What connections can you make between the reading and your own experiences in previous study or 
 in the workplace?
-What can you “take away” from the readings?
-What questions or issues does the reading raise for you?


Guiding questions for research topics:


-What was the focus of your research?
-Is the current literature available on your topic convincing to you? Why/why not?
-What gaps exist in the current literature?
-What do you agree/disagree with?
-How would you change the research or what else do you wish the authors had considered?
-What connections can you make between these articles and others?
-What connections can you make between the reading and your own experiences in previous study or   
 in the workplace?
-What can you “take away” from the readings?
