It’s been a few weeks since an update on my internship project at Keene State. I’m actually just about to wrap up my work here at the Mason Library and it’s been an exciting and extremely informative learning experience. I’ve navigated library polictics, technological issues, interpersonal hurdles and archival methods questions.

I also had my completed DACS and EAD ready finding aid from last semester : KNS Finding Aid.
For an assignment in my Archives Access and Use class (LIS 440) this semester I marked up said finding aid in EAD.

And check us out here too:
Pioneer Valley Roller Derby is back in action!
Here’s a skater update on “Surly Mental” #56 on Western Mass Destruction:
Final projects are due in my second semester of graduate studies in library science and archives management, so I had to take a week off from derby :( Since January I have been attending the skill training practice on Wednesday nights and the endurance practice on Monday nights. When class is over next week I’ll be able to start attending scrimmage practice – the next step to getting on the roster! (Which would mean playing instead of watching – where I really want to be.) I’ve always like playing sports more than counting scores and stats.
SO come see the team play – and soon enough I’ll be rough n’ tumbling with them too!

Left on the side of the road.
My car is dead.
FYI, someone else really awesome took this picture. I found it in my files of random internet photos. If this is you, or you know who the photographer is, please let me know. Thanks.

What is the story in the subtitle?
Looking at the State Normal School of Keene annual catalogs and circulars from the early 20th century has me thinking about the lifestyles and traditions of undergraduate college students. I will try to tell what stories I can find with the pictures found in the annual catalogs. This will help to paint a picture to go along with the narrative written by the special collections librarian.
On a side note, I started exploring the KSC Mason Library CD collection today. Wooo! Today’s selection included DiFranco and Marsalis.
Next steps: speak with systems librarian about steps to take the finding aid and image files from where they are now to being live on the web. And…. more scanning!
