Well, indeed, I made it through. I am officially Dr. Tine. Of course the question everyone is now asking is "what's next?". This has been challenging for me to answer to myself. I have a very strobg desire to give back to the library profession. Libraries have saved my life in a number of ways throughout my life by giving me a home and purpose. Coupled with this is a strong sense of helping people and traching/training. My specific area of practical expertise is technology. My research area of interest is international librarianship. So how do I find a path which may afford me some joy at all of these levels?
Currently, I am seeking adjunct faculty opportunities to feed that teaching piece. I am trying to write about my international experiences, not soley from my dissertation. I am tryibg to create and build a library technology consulting practice to assist small and rural libraries. Of course, eventually I may need to get a day job if none of this is fruitful. But until then, I am trying to follow my passions.
I expect I will be posting here more as my world evolves. I encourage you to get in touch if anything I say touches a cord.
