I am admitting now that I did not plan to have LIS 158 as my last LIS elective. Before the start of this sem, I have taken up LIS 171, 172, 173 (archives track), LIS 163 and 164 (IT track). I originally wanted to enroll in LIS 166 to complete the IT track but it was not yet offered. Can you believe that right after I have assessed my form 5, LIS 166 was suddenly offered! @#$%! Anyway, I'm too lazy to change mat and the time slot is bad because the class will start late in the afternoon and end in the evening. So in the end, I stuck with LIS 158 being my sixth and final LIS elective, besides, I don't think LIS 158 would be bad anyway. "Yung teacher pa lang, panalo na! Hahaha." I also believe marketing is an important skill to acquire as an information professional.
"We are in the business of information" -Ma'am Rhea
Before having Ma'am Rhea as a teacher in SLIS, I didn't view libraries this way. Before, I thought libraries were more of in the business of books. But so much has change in libraries, more particularly the information technologies that greatly affected how our library services work today. I view marketing as a solution to the problem of potential-users stereotyping our libraries in such that they can't fully utilize what the library could offer. Lastly, I'm now so glad I enrolled in this class because my thesis topic would be about marketing. :))
