Portfolio and Special Project Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Portfolio and Special Projects linked above, I am submitting a list of courses taken at Southern Connecticut State University toward the Master of Library Science degree.  I entered the program in Fall 2001 and will complete the program in August 2003.  During these two years, I have taken 12 online courses that have been of great value in my service as Library Director at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tennessee.
 
As part of the portfolio, I have supplied links to each course page.  On those pages will be found the course title, instructor's name, course description, course goals, and texts used.  In addition, I have supplied a final project or sample of work completed for each course as well as a statement of how the concepts in the course were applied to my work situation.
