Thursday, December 8 Sad to say, my last day :( BUT I was able to finish off my internship doing what I love, which is, of course: Pulling articles for scanning (physically or electronically). Scanning. Electronic delivery of documents. Shelving. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Also, Dr. Martens stopped by to conduct an on-site visit and discuss/evaluate the overall internship experience with Junie and myself. All parties agreed that the internship went well. I gained a lot of valuable, hands-on experience during my introduction to library technical services. At the same time, the work I performed assisted library personnel with fulfilling day to day functions. It was a mutually beneficial and positive experience.
We laughed, we cried, we joined in song...

A few prize drawings were held in between presentations and I was fortunate enough to win a gift certificate for one dozen cookies from Felini's.
