Donation to Queen’s Library

I recently contributed funds to the fundraising campaign of one of my PC friends who helped me out in NY (in Facebook). I am truly grateful for the assistance during my time of need.

I am thinking of contributing funds to the Queen’s Library in New York – the main library I used in New York when I was stranded to research and write my PhD papers. I noticed the Donate button on their website that I visited just today.

My mother always encouraged me to say “thank you” to folks who assisted me in some way. I guess I get that from her. Come to think of it, my mother is the one who got me into creating greeting cards and design. In my (immediate) family, we made greeting cards to celebrate birthdays.

I wrote “very good” papers in New York. I recall the paper on HR Strategy at Google (screenshots of the paper-in-progress shown in this blog post: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/2018/09/paper-in-progress.html). For that paper, I needed to select a company to analyze their HR strategy. I wanted to focus on NY Transit, but that fell through. I stumbled upon Google. I found excellent resources in the library that made the difference. For example, I found an excellent book that provided insights on Google’s work rules (the last picture/image at the end of the blog post: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/2018/09/week-4-assignmentjournal-articles.html)

The general blog for the course showing “under the hood” information is: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/

Will contributing to the library present an ethical issue?

Queen’s Library, NY

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
