Final Projects: x2

I have two classes this semester with final projects: Foundations and Information Organization.

For my Foundation's class, we were supposed to write an ethics/advocacy paper, as well as an action research paper. Or, we could combine them and write one long paper that combines action research and advocacy.

I started writing a paper about Autism and the Libraries, and had a case study of the main branch of my public library as my action research. Then, I found a post about Autism Speaks, which prompted me to add a few sections to my paper about the organization. The section is summed up as "why no one should ever, ever, support Autism Speaks, and here is why."

For Information Organization (which I'll post some information about in a new page later), I decided to create subject heading for my book collection. I am not simply looking up the book for its Library of Congress Subject Heading, I am creating my own, and ones that should clearly explain the book from the subject headings themselves.
