As promised, I will begin this week the exciting list of descriptions for the LISSA positions that will be available at the end of this semester. Today, we hear from Hannah Sears, one of the current LISSA secretaries:
“I understand being a LISSA secretary as worthwhile, because I can find out about school news, student group news, and facility updates. Being able to maintain the LISSA GSLIS Lounge has worked for me, because I have a daily and weekly supply job that involves maintaining, on a daily and weekly basis, a space dedicated to us students. The routine has been helpful during 2007-2009 as the economic and political shifts have been great, and as the online, all the time, digital world takes us up into the “clouds”. Feeling grounded for a short while, while standing in the lounge, sitting in a couch or chair, reading or chatting, drinking water, hot tea or cafe, is sometimes a necessary action while in library school this year.
If you are interested in knowing more about the Secretary position for summer 2009, please email me at sears@simmons.edu.”
