Short term: I hope to gain valuable experience with FACTSnet this summer doing useful, practical things to benefit the organization and further its goals. To help me achieve this goal, I would appreciate a clear, practical written outline of the goals of both the organization and the associated site. If needed, I can help with this. Also in the short (ish) term, I would like to use my experience to get hired at the library at Augustana campus in the fall.
Medium term: I would like to continue working as much as possible during my undergraduate career so as to leave university with few to no student loans. My ideal would be to work on-campus at Augustana during the school year, then switch to FACTSnet or an organization that offers similar experiences during the summer. Once I have my undergraduate degree, I want to become a library assistant to support my graduate studies in Library and Information Sciences.
Long term: Once I have my Master's degree, I want to be a librarian. Currently I am looking at a career with Edmonton Public Library, possibly as an Outreach Librarian or something similar, but I will look at other opportunities as they present themselves. Whatever the job I take is, I will be prioritizing steadiness and job security over pay.
Since you want to be a librarian? We need to put you into indexing blogs etc. We won't get into that right now but keep things in your notebook so you can present them at our dialogue.
