The Field Book Project extends a warm welcome to our two Summer Cataloging Interns Richard Jerome and Alice Doolittle.
Richard Jerome lives in Washington, D.C. where he received his Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS) in 2012 from the Library and Information Science program at Catholic University. He received his Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Philosophy from Colgate University in Hamilton, NY. In 2011 he completed a practicum in authorities cataloging for the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, MD. Richard is excited to work for the Smithsonian Institution, an organization he has always admired.
Alice Doolittle lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she recently completed her Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree at the University of Pittsburgh. Alice also holds an M.S. in wildlife conservation from the University of Minnesota and a B.S. in biology from Yale. Having worked as a science teacher, field biologist, and a desk jockey at a conservation organization, Alice looking forward to combining her biology background with her library science training. She views the Smithsonian Field Book Project as a great opportunity for her goals and is excited to be contributing to and learning from the project this summer. She is also excited to be back on her native soil, Washington, D.C.
You will hear more from both Richard and Alice later this summer when they blog about their work, so keep reading.
