Second week at Mortenson

The second week as a Mortenson Associate focused on sessions and visits/tours.

  • Visit to Allerton Park
  • Visit to Siebel Center for Design
  • Visit to iSchool
  • Tour of Main Library
  • Visit to Urbana Free Library
  • Session on Digital Strategies and Digital Preservation
  • Sessions blogging, professional development and action plans
  • Visit and tour of Campus Instructional Facility
  • Introduction to AI and Libraries

I learnt a lot of things this week. I got to see technology in action, user engagement in public and academic libraries, design thinking principles and in practice, preservation and digital strategies. The documentary “Coded Bias” led the discussion on AI, algorithms and ethics which was very enlightening for me.
