Here it all begins...

Library School. First class of my first semester, LS 5013. I think I will be glad to have this blog to record my thoughts during this journey. Hopefully, I will continue to use it beyond this one class. I have had a journal at livejournal.com for a few years where I record my personal woes and keep up with friends from online communities. This Blog shouldn't be any more difficult to maintain.

I have a few areas of interest in Library School and in my future employment. I am interested in both collection development and cataloging. I also want my studies to have an emphasis on children's and young adult literature. I may find that I'll need to choose between collection development or cataloging, or that I don't actually care for one or the other.

I presently work in a public library in a clerical position. I will probably want to continue working there. Even though I want to work in a public library, I am not eager to work with the public. I much prefer to work in the bowels of the library.
