Work
Nicole is an information specialist in Lippincott’s New York office.
Musings
I had the same response as everyone else when learning the education requirements for becoming a librarian, “You have to have a Masters degree for that? What exactly do they do?” Thankfully I asked the question. Within the profession I have found endless directions for exploration and developed a skillset for locating, organizing and finding value within the mass of information that now surrounds us.
