New semester, new course, new blog. Here we go!

My name is Bethany Huang (she/her) and I’m writing from Orange County, CA. I finished undergrad in 2020 and started the MLIS in 2023. Before last year, I knew very little about the careers and potentials of libraries, but now it has fascinated me getting to learn about information as a science and profession. My background in theatre arts brought about the joys of collaborating to create new stories in live spaces. Information and storytelling are the threads that bridge me to this field.

I wanted to take this course after watching Dr Stephens’ lecture videos in INFO 200 and hearing about the heart of the library. The very idea that libraries mainly serve its people, not just its books and content, is a profound driver of understanding the profession. I look forward to using these inspirations to grow in the course and learn together with you all.

Lately, I enjoy taking dance classes and singing with the worship team at church. My hobbies include journaling and video games—the best of both analog and digital!
