Coincidentally I was a a change management workshop today and one of the project groups was about getting an internship program off the ground. And I cetainly did mention that my time at the McGill science and engineering library was transformative for me.

(btw, do you think my quote was obvious enough that I was talking about an internship/practicum experience? I would be ok with changing it if you want it to be clearer.)

ty, Hedgie! John, up to you; if you'd like to rephrase, you're welcome to. :)

Science and engineering libraries are actually kind of cool places, something you may not understand until you actually work in one. I never imagined I would end up an academic science librarian until I did a practicum placement at McGill's Physical Science & Engineering Library. The experience completely changed my life and career.

Corrected column is in. Thanks again, everybody. I needed something pleasant after last month's bombshell.

My blog is not long for this world, so you should probably take the link off.

Well, y'all wrote the column for me. Seems wrong to take money for it.
