Hello world!

I am starting a new blog just for my career exploration journey. I recently completed 9 credits of core courses toward my MLS (Masters degree in Library and Information Science) from UNT (University of North Texas.)

Soon I will need to focus on a specific “major” or track to study for the remainder of the program (27 credits.)  My two preferred paths are:

• Health Informatics — leading to a position as a science / technical / medical (STM) reference librarian in a university, medical school, large public library, or biotech firm
• Youth Librarianship — leading to a position as a children’s librarian in a public library
