Dear colleagues
We are hosting a student, Jara Breul from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin who had hoped to find a 6 week internship here in a library. This did not eventuate but Jara is coming in any case.
It would be wonderful if anyone were able to offer her an insight into their workplace for a few hours, a day or perhaps even a week. Jara would be happy to work on a project if you had one. We have found some events she can attend (e.g. SLA Europe, BIALL and CLSIG Open Day on Wed 17th) that will give her a good overview of library and information work and networking in the UK.
Also if anyone were able to offer her reasonably priced accommodation during this period, not necessarily for the full six weeks, it would be appreciated.
Jara will be in London from around 8 April until 19 May.
Her studies cover a broad field of subjects in library and information science, concentrating on information literacy and user studies. She is also interested in other fields such as digitalization and digital libraries, although not so much concerning their technical aspects, rather the concerns about the consequences and challenges of these collections and their impact on "traditional" libraries. She learned about the Europeana Collections Project during another internship at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email me or ring me if you can help.
Regards
Sue Hill
