    who wants to know?? / interviewed by a MLIS prospie

    On “Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 11:55 AM,”
    I received a cool email from an undergrad student I recently just met interested in libraries:

    “I was wondering if you’d be interested in answering a few questions via e-mail about your library career so far. I am completing a tutorial on Library Sciences with Tammera, and one of my assignments is to interview library professionals… Let me know if this interests you!”

    At first I was like, “hmmm…. I am disinclined to  acquiesce to your request.”
    As I remembered the last time, I agreed to answer interview questions about my on/off relationship with my boyfriend: MLIS —

    A friend and role model of  mine runs this very dope site for black grad students, TrynaGrad.com and recently asked me something similar. I volunteered for this, of course— For him: anything.
    Bruh.
    His questions were deep. — PhD students…*eyerolls* —
    I had to reconsider my life multiple times as I was answering them, took meeee… a few weeks to answer.

     

    So, I had a little PTSD.

    Still, I remembered the librarian interviews that I have been doing since starting library school and how useful they have been,
    so
    I acquiesed.

    And guess what, y’all?
    It was so fun!
