The experience left me feeling a greater confidence that this is the perfect field for me. I am grateful for the funding from Dr. Hirsh, for it would have not been possible to do so without it. I also would like to thank Sheila Gurtu for the chance to present my research on Digital Literacy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the conference allowed me to network and learn from other professionals. I also had a great experience meeting with four other members of our chapter (ALASC), along with Dr. Hirsh, other SJSU iSchool students, and SJSU faculty members. The SJSU reception was well attended and I heard about research from several other SJSU students about their research.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first time attending ALA Annual, but not my first time attending any library conference. All of the conferences I have gone to have been rewarding experiences for me and I will attend more in the future. I am so grateful to the SJSU iSchool for providing me with funding this year.
