Hi everyone.
My name is Jeanne and I’m approaching my final year in the MLIS program. I’m aiming to also complete the Digital Asset Management Certificate program as well, pending the completion of a couple more classes.
I first got into this field in community college when I went through my school’s Library Technician program. I did an internship in the program to decide whether or not I would want to pursue a Master’s degree, and I’ve been studying LIS since. Now, I manage my organization’s intern program, including the same program I interned in.
I’m excited to take this course this summer because a lot of my work is digital. My organization is an arts nonprofit and I manage the art collection and archive; although some of my files are physical, a majority of them are digitized or born-digital. I think this class will give me a better understanding of the GLAM space in a digital setting as well as ways I can improve my current workflow.
Outside of school, I love to knit and crochet as well as travel. So far I’ve only gone to Cancun this year, but later this year I’ll be going to Edinburgh and hopefully a couple US cities. Last year I went to Fiji, so hoping to visit more tropical locations in the next few years.
