Competency F

This reflective e-portfolio entry examines my development of Competency F during my MLIS program at San José State University. Competency F focuses on the selection, evaluation, organization, and preservation of both physical and digital information objects. Through three artifacts—a preservation analysis of silk textiles, a digital photograph preservation project, and a finding aid for a digital animation collection—I demonstrate how these principles guide responsible collection stewardship. Together, these projects illustrate how archival theory and collection management practices support the long-term preservation and accessibility of cultural heritage materials.
