\nNaomi House\u2019s interview with success story Danielle.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\nNaomi:<\/b>\u00a0 How did you find your current job?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 I am currently working part-time at Rutgers University Libraries, a position I fell into after visiting and conducting research at Special Collections. After graduating, I volunteered and the position turned into something more. Starting fall, I will be a Fellow at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA., working in their bibliography department, and digitizing Yiddish documents. I found the open position in their email announcements after visiting (and falling in love with) the facilities.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/b>\u00a0 Favorite library you have been to?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 Papercut Zine Library<\/a> in Cambridge, MA is great. They have a large collection of socio-political art zines and so much more. I wasn\u2019t familiar with zine culture prior to visiting, but really admire the medium and the personal expression. I even found a publication called Jewish Anarchist Punk.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/b>\u00a0 Favorite book?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 I am in the middle of Who Will Write Our History?<\/em> by Samuel Kassow and have been recommending it to everyone. It is about the Oyneg Shabes Archives, a collection of hidden documents that were preserved pertaining to daily life in the Warsaw Ghetto.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/b>\u00a0 Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 The library is a safe, community-oriented space for diverse audiences. I love the public programming and accommodations they provide the individual.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/b>\u00a0 Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 I am following the Association of Jewish Libraries forum called HaSafran<\/a>. Subscribers can post information about relevant jobs and publications, or spark a discussion on current topics in Judaica libraries—one thread ended up being the motivation for my graduate paper. I also subscribe to Duke University\u2019s Scholarly Communications blog<\/a>. It keeps me up-to-date on current issues and proceedings on intellectual property issues in libraries and universities.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/b>\u00a0 Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nDanielle:<\/b>\u00a0 Trust your gut. I only applied to positions that I knew would be meaningful to me even though it seemed limiting to others. Also, I recommend applying to non-traditional library positions, such as specialized fellowships and paid internships to get through that first job hurdle.<\/p>\n
