Inquiries into culture, meaning, and human value meet emerging technologies and cutting-edge skills at Pratt Institute's School of Information

Author: Danielle Brena

I'm a first semester student at the SILS program at Pratt Institute going for my MLIS. I received my undergrad from City College of New York with a BA in English Literature, where I developed a love of learning. Since going to school is not a real job, I discovered that the LAMs field can offer the same reward of obtaining knowledge as being a student does. I'm looking forward to what I will learn here at Pratt and am excited to get where I am going, which is hopefully a career in the academic library field (ideally working with a special library regarding Latin American/Caribbean studies).
