I've been reading job descriptions for librarians just so I can get a sense for what kinds of things might be in store for me when I complete this program, and I'm realizing how much I've learned already in this program! I now fully understand what it entails to add a book to the online catalog. I know how to make a web demo to show a user how to access a program or database (thanks, Jing!). I can not only edit a website, but I can make one. I have ideas on how to attract patrons, and understand that the purpose of library is shifting as physical books and journals are being replaced with online counterparts.
By no means am I fully qualified to run a library, but I feel like I'm well on my way! Even more encouraging, I actually think I will enjoy fulfilling the tasks required for these library positions. Whew. I made a good decision.
