The Inclusive Librarian

Welcome to Adele Chase’s MLIS Portfolio. I have completed this portfolio in fulfillment of the requirements of the Master’s in Library and Information Science degree at the University of South Carolina.

This collection of materials showcases my academic and professional achievements, reflecting the skills and knowledge I have acquired. Inside, you will find a comprehensive résumé highlighting my educational background, work experience, professional memberships, presentations, publications, and honors. I have also included samples of my work that illustrate my competency in organizing information and providing information services, along with thoughtful reflections on these experiences. You will see evidence of my facility with information and its organization, experience providing information services, leadership and management skills, research projects, technological competencies, and commitment to lifelong learning and professional development, each accompanied by detailed analyses and personal insights. In addition, my vision statement outlines my professional philosophy, values, and ethics, as well as my goals for future growth as an information specialist. Thank you for visiting, and I hope this portfolio provides a comprehensive view of my journey and accomplishments while in the MLIS program. Enjoy exploring!
