Alum returns to Special Collections…as a Librarian
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
Lucy Saxon (’06) is pleased to return to the Haverford College Special & Quaker Collections this summer for an internship culminating her library school experience. She will graduate in August from San Jose State University with a Masters in Library and Information Science. Lucy was a Comparative Literature Major, and is interested in archives and special collections, language, literature, history, and quakerism.
This summer, she is assisting Digital Collections Librarian David Conners in cleaning up and standardizing records from many databases as they are combined into the new Collections Manager system. She is thrilled to be working on the Fine Arts Collection, doing cataloging, and helping to make part of the collection available online. She will also help to write cataloging documentation for future catalogers. She is delighted to be back in the Special Collections where her undergraduate work inspired her decision to pursue a career in librarianship, and is enjoying another beautiful summer on campus.
