Hello everyone,

My name is Elizabeth You guys can call me Liz for short whichever one you folks feel! My pronouns are she/her! The reason why I'm taking this course is because it was recommended to me by my counselor to help me with my major. What I like to gain within doing this course is having confidence with researching and getting the right information. My experience with libraries are really nice. I Enjoy the peace and silence Because when I'm stressed out or I have a lot of homework to do the silence that is in the library really helps me concentrate and sometimes going to the library also helps me cool down. I think I would say 9 out of 10 would be my comfortability of using the library at a college level at college level. One interesting fact about me is that I've been dancing since I was two years old and since then I've never stopped and recently I started to sing more because when I was younger I was very shy which I still am when it comes to speaking to a large groups especially even singing in front of a large crowd.

hi everyone my name is Analise Donovan (she/her). i am taking the is course to hopefully help me better understand college and how to do research on my own, what sources i can look at, which ones not to. which to me is important since I am a history major. i like libraries, especially the foothill one, i enjoy studying or using a study room with friends to get some work done, i find the silence helpful. i don’t read many books so that part of the library is not as much use to me, however when i need to find sources or books for research i am able to no problem. one interesting fact about me is i have a ‘98 subaru impreza outback sport, its a pretty cool fun little car that I enjoy working on and driving, its kinda like the pic but black:))

Hello everyone.

My name is Martin Yao. I am taking this course because I think it will be able to assist me for the next few years with my college experience as well as fulfilling my course requirements. I am decently familiar with the library as I have a lot of siblings and my parents used to take us to the library almost every week. But I have not used a lot of library resources on anything. I have had experiences with doing college level research but that was for a different class, and a very temporary thing. One interesting fact about me is that my first language is Chinese, and I only started learning English when I came to America about 10 years ago. The song I chose is a Chinese rock song, I think it really represents what I want to be able to do one day. Which is just traveling around the world, meeting different people and just expose myself to various cultures.

Hi, my name is Marie and my pronouns are she/her. I am currently taking this course to increase my knowledge of college-level research, because I don't have much experience in it. I absolutely love libraries and reading! I've never had a bad experience in a library before because the libraries that I would go to as a child were always so nice a cozy. I am not very experience in college-level research but I am experience in using library resources to write essays and summaries. I picked out the song "Special Affair" by The Internet because I think it sums up my vibe. One interesting fact about me is that I am mostly a home-body, so coming to this class is a bit out of my comfort zone!

Hi everyone!

My name is Easter

Muavao and my pronouns are she/her. I am taking this course because it is needed for my psychology major. I hope to gain knowledge in resources as well as to be mindful in using them to improve my writing in all ways possible. My experiences with libraries have always been so pleasant because as a child, my mom would take us to the libraries every weekend to check out books for the week. I'm going to be honest in saying that I am not very comfortable in using library resources for doing college research because ever since I started my journey in higher education, I never used the resources available so it's safe to say now is the time. A fun fact about myself I would say is that I spent the first year of my life living on a boat with my parents traveling through the South Pacific before my siblings came along. Sounds scary but I'm here today so it wouldn't have been too bad. The song I chose is one of my favorite songs at the moment because I love reggae music. Looking forward to learning with you all this quarter!

Hi, My name is Valeria and my pronouns are she/her. This course was recommended to me by the program i want to do (Diagnostic Medical Sonography). I hope to improve my research papers and project for junior and senior year of high-school. I grew up going to library with my family. I enjoyed reading especially when my family would read books to me! I recently started going to the library to use the study rooms but I don't use much of the resources they provide. I have never done college research so it will be something new to me but I believe it will be beneficial in many ways. One fun fact about me is I am the youngest of two sisters! This song does not really represent me but its been one of my favorites for a couple years now.

Hello, my name is Noah Barron Munguia and my pronouns are he/him. I am taking this course as part of my criteria for starting a vet tech program (pre-requisites). I hope to gain knowledge on how to do reliable research in the near future, as in the future I will have to either come up with my own research or use reliable sources and this would be a good class for learning that. My experience with libraries is that my dad used to take me to our local one in my city and we would often search for rental books and interesting movies too as we grew up fairly poor and it was a good way of getting kids distracted while saving a bunch. One interesting fact about me is that I have an identical twin who later transitioned into the wonderful sister I know today, I also am a family of five (oldest sister, oldest brother, middle child sister, identical sister, youngest brother(me). I am also into photography and love to take photos on the side and hope to do it in the future as either a side gig or as a paid position. Nice to meet you all.

Hello, my name is Seyma Parlatan and my pronouns are she/her. My name pronunciation is Sheyma:) I received my Master's degree in Physics. I have PhD degree in the Atomic Physics area. I took my degrees in Turkiye. Last year, I worked as a physics lecturer at a university in Turkey. I taught my student Radiation Physics and the Protection of Radiation. The most important reason for me to take this course is to learn how to access information and resources in my field more quickly and easily.

One interesting thing about me is that I have twin boys. They are 8 years old and every day we are playing in a playground:)
