Highlights/ Sample of Coursework:
Many of the assignments that I completed for this course had me doing activities that I would actually do as part of a job in a special library. I created an imaginary library called the Museum X Library and Archives to help put activities in context. The "library" supported a progressive, hands-on, American history museum. From this course I took away that it is necessary for special libraries to demonstrate their importance to the organization that they support. Also, I realized how important a collection development policy can be.
