  2. Portfolio Creation Comments • I found the creation a good refresher on some of the AV equipment that I don’t use very often. It gave me a reason to get some hands on time with it all to really see what I remembered. • When I began creating this portfolio I felt that eight items was a bit too many but as I progressed through I realized that it was a good amount to provide a well rounded experience with the AV in a modern library. Peter Thompson Libra 2300

  3. Portfolio Use & Challenges • Personally the main use I have for this portfolio is the project research. We are planning a technological revamp soon and my opinion is asked for on matters like this. • The most challenging piece of equipment for me was the Dell Optiplex 745 but that’s mostly due to the fact that it is older, slow and needs to be upgraded fairly badly. Peter Thompson Libra 2300

  4. My Philosophy, Media Use & the 21st Century Library • For me being an LTA is all about helping people. My situation is a little different, at my library, LTAs are given the opportunity to do more than most places and it’s why I love what I do. • That includes with media, I am my departments, and at times the library’s, media and technology expert, I like being able to show people new media and how to use it and troubleshooting when stuff goes wrong. • In the 21st Century Library media is more important than ever. It is a big part of everyone’s life and because of that a big part of what people come to the library for. Due to that today’s library staff has to be well versed in media, they will be fielding a ton of questions about it and if they cannot provide assistance they will lose that patron’s trust.

  9. Article SynopsisGoldman, Joshua. "Canon PowerShotElph 110 HS Review (Silver)." CNET. N.p., 20 Mar. 2012. Web. 01 Aug. 2012. <http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-elph-110/4505-6501_7-35127706.html>. • Small and light • 16.1 MP and Digic 5 Image Processor make for improved images over predecessor • Fun shooting options and video modes • Takes good pictures and video clips • Can give mixed shooting results • Photo quality suffers in low light situations • Battery life poor • MSRP a bit too expensive for the model, wait until the price dips below 200 Peter Thompson Libra 2300

  10. Library Use • The main use I believe a library would have for this camera is to take pictures of programming. Having a picture of a program tells a story about it and if you can capture the joy and excitement of the participants in the photo there’s no better tool for promoting the program in the future. • Another use for this camera in the library would be to document damages to either materials or the facilities for insurance or other purposes • Lastly the camera can be used to take picture of the steps that need to be taken to complete library tasks for training purposes.
