Dominican University, SOIS

Hello! Welcome to my e-Portfolio for Dominican University's School of Information Studies. This site documents what I have learned in the Master of Library and Information Science program and provides evidence of my competencies according to the program's five learning goals and respective outcomes.

The navigation menu is located at the top of each page. Each SOIS goal has its own page; the goal and designated outcomes are defined, and artifacts from my coursework and professional activities are provided to demonstrate my competency for each outcome. A reflective essay will describe my learning journey at Dominican and some of my most impactful educational experiences. Finally, my resume will highlight my career experience and professional skills.

Earning this degree represents more to me than an academic achievement or the beginning of a second career—it has been a life-changing adventure, and I am grateful to the professors and fellow students I have worked with on the way. I am very excited to share my work with you, and I am eager to further my growth in this vocation.

Please feel free to contact me at karenmsteiger@gmail.com, and thank you for visiting my site!
