This portfolio of projects, papers and presentations represents a culmination of the work that I 
undertaken in order to complete my Master’s in Library and Information Science at Emporia State University’s School of Library and Information Management (SLIM). Each course helped to answer the information need that I started with as an incoming information science student. Every artifact, or assignment, has given me another experience that will lead to me becoming a better information professional.
Below you will find the master’s outcomes that are presented to SLIM students when they begin their studies. The courses that we took touch on the outcomes and the assignments that we were given allow us to better understand the different aspects of library and information management.
