If you were perhaps wondering what possessed me to take up my writing again, let me clear the mystery: it's required for a class. To be specific: an internship. To fulfill my course requirement for an online log to document my experience.
My internship is a "virtual" one, with the San Francisco Public Library, and my duties will be to investigate digital best practices as well as to catalog one part of a specific collection from the Archives. It sounds very interesting, and I'm looking forward to it!
Right now, I'm sorting out the preliminaries and getting my infrastructure in order (for instance, this blog), while waiting for word from my site supervisor. I also need to speak with her to see if there are any aspects of my internship that she would not want written about on my blog (if she wants me to use her name or a pseudonym, etc) -- but by the end of Week 2 (Feb 5th, Super Bowl Sunday) I should have enough information to begin logging my experiences properly.
To my class-mates and professor: welcome aboard! and thanks for taking time to read my log. As always, I'll try to make it meaningful. Please feel free to leave comments for me if something you read here sparks them!
