ALA Core Competencies
See competencies #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 for Spring 2020 through Spring 2021 semester updates.
This
section of my electronic portfolio provides a place to include
the actual artifacts (i.e., evidence) I have produced for key
assignments
that met the ALA Core Competencies. For each Core Competency, I have
identified an assignment or assignments that display an understanding
of that competency. In addition to identifying the assignments that
meet ALA
Core Competencies, I have provided the following information on the
sub-page that accompanies the ALA Core Competency exemplified in the
assignment:
- Course in which I completed the assignment (e.g., INFO 5200, Information Organization Project)
- Name and brief description of the assignment
- Date of completion of the assignment
- Copy of the paper/document/etc. I submitted for the assignment
- A short reflective essay (150-250 words) on the assignment and my learning outcomes
The ALA (American Library Association) Core competencies define
the basic knowledge that should be possessed by all persons graduating
from an ALA-accredited master’s program in library and information
studies. This page has 8 sub-pages, 1 for each ALA competency. Under
each page, the competencies are linked. CLICK HERE to Link to ALA Core Competencies of Librarianship Document
