Hi!<\/p>\n
My name is Ashley Kilian. I am graduating from UBC’s MLIS program this spring. I come at this program from an arts background (my major was in communications [professional writing stream] with a minor in linguistics), and from the background of someone who has worked as a Library Assistant in libraries for many years (9, to be exact).<\/p>\n
To this class, I bring both my background in libraries and my background of being a moderate-to-light social media user in my free time. I’m a little snarky, a little judgmental, and a little brash at times, but I just can’t seem to help it that my default setting is critical<\/em> rather than accepting.<\/em> I have taken this approach to my use of social media, as well.<\/p>\n And since I’m not sure how to add an avatar to my profile yet, I’ll just say I’m that white-haired blonde you might have seen around SLAIS every once in a while<\/em>, if that helps any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi!
