LIBRLT110 Lecture Notes - Toronto Public Library, Intellectual Freedom, Knowledge Base
Document Summary
(i) i now understand why the toronto public library (tpl) allowed megan murphy to speak at one of their branches. At the time, i was shocked by the tpl"s decision given how upset many. Torontonians were about her giving a talk at a tpl facility. Before starting introduction to libraries and the information. Industry, i did not realize how important professional development is in this field of work. Although i have been curious about facebook, twitter, instagram and tik tok, i have felt intimidated by them and avoided using them. Knowing the important role they play in connecting libraries with their users has challenged me to create my own social media accounts and learn how to use them. (iv) i was surprised by the existence of special libraries. Before taking introduction to libraries and the information industry, i had never heard of them. I was only familiar with school libraries, public libraries, academic libraries, reference libraries and archives.
