Hello! My name is Megan Fowle, and I am the Fortenbaugh
Intern for the Spring of 2015!
To begin, here is a little bit about me: I am a senior history major with a minor in Educational Studies. I am from Frederick, MD, home to Francis Scott Key and the site of the Monocacy Battlefield. Over this past summer, I interned at the Historical Society of Frederick County, which is where those fun little tidbits of Frederick’s history came from. My favorite book is probably Peter Pan, but even as I type that I am thinking of several other books that I could have written as my favorites. It is just so hard to choose!
I am very excited to work in the Reference Department this semester! I have completed my first two weeks, which I spent training with different members of the Reference staff. I really enjoyed being able to learn from each of them, to see what their strengths were and hearing their pieces of advice. Now that my training is over, I get to start working the reference desk and handling questions on my own! To be honest, that makes me a little nervous. There are so many aspects of reference librarianship that I had not known about. From databases to subject searches, there are so many tricks of the trade that I have learned about over the past two weeks which I am excited to explore further, and I am excited for the challenge!
