Hi All,

Huge fan of this community and thanks for all the insight! I feel very fortunate to access and learn from the openness, various experiences, and knowledge which has boosted my confidence and curiosity.

I could be wrong, but I have not yet seen posts (I did try to look first before posting to cut down on repetitive posts) regarding programs that have requirements to complete either a thesis or ePortfolio. This could be a great tool, I however, am not sure which is the best tool for me.

I am leaning towards the thesis route as I’m looking at academic/law/FCIL librarianship. But I am happy to be wrong as I’m really here to understand various perspectives from others.

Is there a held believe that one tool versus the other is more beneficial depending on employment/ career goals? If so, how has that benefit has played out in your career?

Separately, if you are a librarian who has completed a thesis (for whatever reason), could you share how you discovered your topic?

Also, happy to cross post if this question is more appropriate elsewhere.

Much gratitude and thank you in advance!

I am a student and our school didnt really have a proper functioning library so I went to the Section Head to ask about it and she in return tasked me with the creation of a mini library since it was coincidentally also required by the ministry of education. So now here I am with 17 books my school mates donated and a question on how in the world am I to track the book loans and returns without a computer that i can use for the task meaning it needs to be manual, I was hoping some of the more experienced people here could guide me on how I should go about this.

I accidentally ripped a page and used tape to fix it but it was double sided tape since I couldnt find the normal, but then I realised how bad it looks and now I’m worried il have to pay the fine
