Meredith Solomon’s Summary
I have been working in libraries since 1991 when I was an undergraduate student at the University of South Florida, Tampa.
As a Social Work major, I left the library to pursue a job more related to my field of study. after two year of disenchantment with the system and the fact I missed the library, I went back to my old position. It was then I realized that being a Librarian was what I wanted to be.
In 1996 I packed my things, loaded my car and moved to Portland, Oregon. There, I floundered for about 6 years before finishing up my undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies at Portland State University and beginning a Masters program in Library Science in August of 2003 at Emporia State University's Oregon Cohort.
August 2006 I graduated with my MLS from Emporia State University. While I was going to school I was also working as a paraprofessional Library Technical Assistant at Tuality Healthcare. This job and my MLS allowed me the opportunity to apply and get accepted into the National library of Medicine Associate Fellowship Program.
This is where I am currently working until August 2007. After the fellowship I will be the new Outreach Librarian for the University of Maryland, Baltimore Health Science and Human Services Library. I am excited and nervous about the job and the move.
That is my last 10 years of professional life in a nutshell.
