• Electronic Portfolio• Compose a reflective portfolio backed up with artifacts to show
what you have learned and accomplished, and project what you will you do in the future.
• Here is the current website: LSSL Portfolio Suggestions, Tips, Resources• http://livebinders.com/edit?id=148978• Access key is: Portfolio Key
• For how-to videos on setting up your LiveBinder, go to the LSSL Graduate Students organization course in Blackboard.

Begin Your Portfolio Now!
• Set up folders to save your coursework on your computer or flash drive devoted to your portfolio. Consider purchasing a backup service (like Carbonite), using Dropbox, or backing up through your laptop itself (Dell BackUp, etc.).
• You will be required to set up a Live Binder for yourself in LSSL 5370!
• Begin adding coursework where appropriate to your Live Binder as your work through the program. You will update your portfolio during your final semester to create a more professional representation of your current knowledge. You will also want to fill in any holes that need to be filled at that time.
• As you gain new skills and knowledge in your MLS classes and discover that you are using them in your classroom or library, save evidence and artifacts that you have created for your work.
