Greetings! As many (if not all ;-) of my readers know, I am an American graduate student finishing up my Master’s degree in Library and Information Science. My last class is an internship which will take place in Salzburg, Austria from June to August 2009. During this time period I will be responsible for maintaining the library of a non-profit organization that convenes an international array of academics and intellectuals to discuss issues of global interest. One of the more interesting factoids about this organization is that it operates out of an eighteenth century palace (yes, an honest to goodness palace) which was used to film outdoor scenes for the movie “Sound of Music.” (Maria and the kids capsizing their canoe into the lake, anyone?)
I am keeping this blog to document my experience overseas. While many entries will revolve around my internship and librarianship, I also plan to write about topics unrelated to libraries. These may include any personal experiences, thoughts or reflections that come up while I am living abroad.
And so…let the voyage begin.
