An introduction I made for a nursing class that I will be helping out this semester. sounds very academic huh?

1. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] Greetings Everyone! My name is Royce Kitts and I am a library science graduate student here at Emporia State University. I look forward to working with you all and the learning moments ahead. But first, I bet you would like to know a little bit about me?

2. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] I was born in Dallas, grew up in Springfield Missouri, and now live outside of Manhattan, Kansas in a little town called Keats (named after the poet.) It is a quiet little town of about 100 people. My wife Miriam, my son Harrison, and I live in a 120 year old house. (something that I just can’t quit telling people  ) In my free time you will probably see me driving down a dirt road with a pickup full of fishing gear, with my son next to me.

3. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] My work life: I have been a librarian for about 6 years now. I currently work as a reference librarian and honestly enjoy going to work. There is something very satisfying about helping people out. Something I am sure that you folks enjoy about your future careers as well. My main work focus is on technology and how to make it work for us at the library. (Somehow I still manage to have hair!)

4. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] As I have been told, you folks are taking a Nursing Theory course? Theory courses are fun aren’t they? I just finished the last of mine this summer, and was hoping that after 6 theory courses I wouldn’t even have to say that word again for a long time. But theory can be fun, it is the foundation upon which all learned thought is built.

5. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] My future plans are to finish school and become the director of a public library. This might take awhile, but I have patience. Looking far ahead, I would like to be an instructor in Library Science. I think that my knowledge of technology and user needs bring a much needed skill set to the discipline.

6. Royce Kitts Graduate Student School of Library and Information Management Emporia State University [email_address] Well, that is me. I am pretty cool, huh? Please feel free to contact me with any questions or help you might need. rkitts@emporia.edu I check my email early and often. Let’s have some fun!
