Initial+Philosophy+Statement


 * 701: Introduction to Library and Information Studies**

For my 701 class, I was asked to wrote my philosophy statement and told that it was certain to change as I progressed through the program. My instructors could not have been more correct. While I still view film as a very important aspect of our culture and still advocate for active preservation, my area of focus has changed. Nevertheless, I feel as though archiving this piece of information is important as it is a great indication of where I have been and where I am going.

In addition, to writing my philosophy statement, I asked my husband, Steven Olexa, to illustrate it for me. I am very interested in the mixing of materials and genres and relaying information in aesthetically pleasing and attention grabbing ways. We worked together to translate my statement into comic friendly panels, and then he was responsible for all of the illustrations. Also of note, the mentioned blog can now be found at: []
