Advice From An (Almost) Librarian

The end of the semester at FIMS looms and for various students, the end of the program is near as well. On that note, Michelle L. has a list of Library School Advice from an Almost Librarian that’s worth checking out.

Congrats also to Barb Janicek who won the Spirit of Librarianship Award for the Summer 2007 semester. (That’s a nice segue because Michelle won it the semester before and now I have double the reason to finally update my Spirit of Librarianship page!)

Hearing the news is also kind of bittersweet in a way – Michelle and Barb were two of the closest friends I made at FIMS but after next semester, my connections to the place will be all but done as I’ll have been away from the place for a full year (!) and so, for the first time, will not know any of the incoming students.

Okay, that’s not completely true – I’m (virtually) meeting the occasional incoming student who stumbles upon my blog and contacts me. I’ll also have connections via various

part-timers who are still around. And even the line of close friends winning SoL might not end – I’ve got high hopes for the newly minted Master Philosopher, the returning Quinn Dupont to sweep to SoL glory in his final term at FIMS!
