The Art Institute of Atlanta<\/strong><\/p>\n

Librarian<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brief Job Description:<\/strong> Sole librarian for an arts- and design-focused collection serving ~1,600 undergraduate students.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some things you like about your job or about working in libraries in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My job:<\/span> Being able to assist non-traditional students at an impasse with their studies\/projects to reach higher levels of learning and capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Libraries in general:<\/span> They’re sanctuaries of humanity, where anyone can set aside time to either get work done in peace, collaborate with peers, or learn something new.<\/p>\n

What’s a project or committee you’re working on right now that you’re excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Integrating library services into the syllabi of all or as many of the faculty as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

What got you interested in libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a graduate student for my first Masters degree, an MA, when I spent almost every day in the library either working as an employee or completing my capstone project. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is one of your favorite things about NMRT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being able to network with other professional librarians that are just starting their careers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for other new librarians?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be open when it comes to that first job, because you may be able to take your career in a new direction from there, but you need to start somewhere! <\/span><\/p>\n
