3rd Week Reflection

I had so many tours here which is really lucky for me, and especially third week was the best tour schedule.

We went to Chicago and stayed there for 2 days, then we came back and visited Ohio for another 2 days.

First day in Chicago, we went to the Chicago public library and met Liz who works for Upshot Marketing company. It was nice to listen how a librarian can work outside of library. Also we had a tour of Chicago public library. It is a huge and beautiful building. I was proud of this library located in the middle of Chicago which is full of amazing buildings. Second day, we visited University of Chicago library. It has new building with glass dorm, and also have a huge repository in the basement. It was so cool to see how they make enough room and make the proper atmosphere for the books.

Third day, we traveled to OCLC in Ohio. We could see how they work and especially how they manage all the servers. The next day we visited Ohio State University which has a great campus. We could see the research commons and Thomson library. It was nice to see how they design the building with the nice view.

It was pretty tiring schedule but it was worth it. I could learn about the design, storage and marketing. And also I could enjoy free time with colleagues. I could never forget.
