USF School of Information Grads Tell Their FLA Annual Conference Stories

Heidi Colom, a 2005 School of Information graduate from the M.A. in Library and Information Science (MLIS) program, tells her story about presenting at the 2021 Florida Library Association (FLA) Annual Conference. "I presented for the first time this year at the Florida Library Association Annual Conference! My presentation was virtual - most were this year, since it was a hybrid conference. The title of my On-Demand Session was "Learning English in Unusual Ways: Lesser Known Materials and Resources for English Language Learners". While I have attended most Florida Library Association conferences since 2011, it was my very first time conducting a presentation at one. This topic is very meaningful to me, since English is my second language and our library provides so many ways for students of all ages to learn and improve their English. Not to mention it was part of the "Lead Inclusively" theme of this year's conference." Colom currently serves as a Librarian at the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System.
