 My name is Barbara Ross and I am an instructor for the San Jose State iSchool. I teach Info 203, which is the first class that students take when they come into the program. That class is the very foundation of all of the other classes that our students take. It teaches them about all the different tools and technologies and resources that they're going to need throughout their program. The professors and the instructors at iSchool, all of us have worked in libraries. We've all worked within the industry in some way or another. We come to the school after having practiced what we are teaching. So I have been in youth services librarianship. I've been in school libraries. I've been in academic libraries. All kinds of different areas and fields and so I bring my experience with me as a teacher. We get students from all kinds of different backgrounds from all over the world and we really appreciate how much dedication they put into their work and how excited they are about the program. Really we're information professionals. It's not just about libraries anymore, although there are a lot of libraries out there. There are school libraries and academic libraries and public libraries and then there's all the special libraries you can work for the medical industry or in technology. There's so many different ways that you can take a degree like this. There are archivists and museums and almost every large industry really needs a librarian. They need someone who is willing to take all of their data and all of their information and organize it and make it into something that is usable for them.
