Over the course of the 2024–2025 academic year, I had the pleasure of working at the Museum of Modern Art’s Library through a fellowship program funded by the Pratt Institute School of Information where I am currently pursuing my MSLIS degree. Working directly under Jillian Suarez (Head of Library Services) and Kendra Farrell (Senior Library Assistant), my responsibilities primarily consisted of providing reference services to Library reading room patrons and creating a research guide on Surrealism using the Springshare LibGuide platform.
My poster covers my responsibilities at MoMA Library and several serendipitous discoveries I made on the job.
