Today was my first day at the Akron Art Museum's Martha Stecher Reed Library. The first thing Ellie Ward (my practicum adviser) and I did was attend a meeting with the museum curator and assistant curator.
The main role of the librarian in this meeting was to determine what were the best books to purchase. The curators told Ms. Ward what shows were coming up and she would then determine what books were appropriate for purchase.
After the meeting we headed back downstairs to the library. I then began the preliminary appraisal of some new acquisitions into the libraries archival collections. It was good times!
About Me

- I received my M.L.I.S. from Kent State University with a concentration in Archival Administration. Since the completion of my M.L.I.S. I have constructed a digital repository for Cleveland State University, volunteered at the Hudson Historical Society and traced my genealogy back to slavery using census records and slave registers. Currently, I am working at the Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum where I am processing Mayme Clayton’s personal papers, implementing cloud computing as a method of digital archives management, and digitizing a collection of photographs that date back to the early 20th century.
