    FA20 LIS 694 Student Videos: Paul Ryan, UHM College of Education by Michelle Carino

    Students in Dr. Gazan’s Fall 2020 course LIS 694 Visions of the Library were asked to tell the story of how an LIS student or professional found their way into the field.  Building on a 60-second Zoom interview with their subjects, students used edits, images, graphics, transitions and sounds to create short digital videos, and explored the roles and responsibilities of a filmmaker/editor in communicating someone else’s story.

    In this video, Michelle Carino interprets the story of Paul Ryan, Technology & Distance Programs (Tech Lead) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Education, and a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin School of Information.

    Halie Kerns Recognized with Blair Award

    Halie Kerns was recognized as the Fall 2020 recipient of the Robert and Rita Blair Memorial Award. This coveted award is presented to graduating students who show special promise in providing library services to children and youth. The LIS faculty select awardees based on high academic standing and strong evidence of professional leadership.

    In her e-portfolio, Kerns wrote, “Throughout my time in the LIS program, I have focused many of my studies on building diverse collections and striving for culturally competent librarianship.” She is demonstrating this as a graduate intern with the non-profit organization, Diverse Book Finder. She and fellow student Jade Sunouchi also recently wrote on a Seed Library project in the most recent HLA Newsletter.

    Congratulations, Halie!
