As of December 16, 2016, I will have graduated from the University of North Texas with my PhD. After 15 years as a Librarian/Information Scientist/Software trainer, I spent 8 years working on this. My dissertation was titled Building an Understanding of International Service Learning in Librarianship. It was a study of a cohort of LIS graduate students who spent 3 weeks in Russia at the Anglo-American Schools of Moscow and St. Petersburg. They were involved in a library assessment/redesign project.
During my degree, I did a wide variety of things to keep myself engaged in the field. I worked as a teaching assistant/research assistant most of that time. I was contracted with the Texas State Library to present a library technology oriented webinar series, Tech Tools/Trends with Tine. Over 30 of them are archived and available freely from their website. I presented regularly with the Texas Library Association. I have maintained my membership in the American Library Association and been active in the Texas Library Association.
So the point of this new blog is to chronicle what's next for me, Tine the Librarian. Hope you enjoy the journey with me!
