Welcome to Meet the Problem Solvers, a new blog series in which Loeb Music Library staff introduce themselves.<\/p>\n

For our first post, we’ll meet problem solver Elizabeth Berndt<\/a>. She goes by Liz and she is a dog person.<\/p>\n

What does a Music Reference and Research Services Librarian do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My job is very interactive. I talk to patrons (faculty, students, staff, outside researchers) to help them understand the library and all it has to offer. This includes one-on-one conversations and teaching in classes, among other things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your favorite thing about the Music Library?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite thing about the music library is that we are embedded in the Music Building. I appreciate the friendships we have with the Music Department<\/a> staff and students.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s a notable (interesting\/challenging\/unusual) project that you’ve worked on lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January 2021 I\u2019m teaching a 3-week course for ALA (American Library Association)<\/a> and MLA (Music Library Association)<\/a> called \u2018Music Librarianship for non-Music Librarians\u2019. Teaching and informing others about music librarianship so they can improve their skills as a librarian is one of my favorite professional activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who are you when you’re not a Music Reference and Research Services Librarian?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fiber artist. I like to spin my own yarn and knit on a daily basis. I also dye, crochet and weave, but knitting is my go-to.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your favorite library-related moment in a movie, novel or TV show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the scene in \u2018Party Girl\u2019 (1995)<\/a> where Parker Posey\u2019s character (a future librarian, Mary) has a meltdown when someone shelves their own book which has her questioning why we even have call number systems at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Liz<\/a>

Liz and Olive<\/p><\/div>\n

Thanks, Liz!<\/p>\n
