My name is Bonnie McLane, and this ePortfolio is a presentation of representative assignments and projects from my time enrolled in the Master of Arts in Library and Information Science program at the University of South Florida (USF). Throughout the program I have sought to cultivate a well-rounded knowledge base in the general principles and practices of librarianship from my core classes as well as the more specialized skills and knowledge required for archives and cultural heritage management from my elective classes. Combined with the professional and volunteer experience I have accumulated from working in various roles in both library and museum settings over the past few years, I am confident not just in my ability to perform the work I have studied and practiced for, but also to adapt to whatever changes this dynamic field is bound to undergo throughout my career.
