Major(s) at U of I: M.S. Library Science
Favorite class or instructor: A funny story – while library
science grad students were struggling to keep up with the technology driven
information storage and retrieval coursework, I was assigned an internship
at the Chemistry Library. Just think of the theses and dissertations my
computerized literature searches would advance for these brilliant minds
of science. Not so according to Head Librarian Ruth Powell who had been
there like a hundred years. She could hear a candy wrapper crinkle from
ANY distance and would send her Intern to bust the students for having
food in the library! Meanwhile I was to keep a close eye on the copier
for illegal usage of copier key passes for non-chemistry major girlfriends
and boyfriends tagging along.
Other memories: Fish Fridays at the Deluxe Café –
the smell of heaps of sliced raw onions
