Today’s lecture on library services and our (abortive) search assignment was a reasonably powerful illustration about how much I enjoy doing research, especially in conjunction with the work that I was doing on our group poster project – something about the treasure hunt of tracking down that perfect source has a remarkable appeal.

There’s still a fairly frustrating learning curve, however, for the tools I need in LIS versus the ones I needed in art history – knowing which databases can be most useful and how to search them most effectively can certainly be problematic. I know it takes practice but it is, as ever, frustrating to be a reasonably experienced art historian going back to being a very, very new LIS student.
