Not yet. Digital libraries will be the future. Anyway, I won’t get into that, this was an attempt to write a dramatic introduction and I failed miserably… . I actually just wanted to talk about one of the many fun things I had to do here. De-accessioning books is just as important as the acquisition. Now,… Weiterlesen print is dead
I’ve been to London far too often, more than I actually intended to. This time it wasn’t for leisure purposes only (Monday was a bank holiday and the visit was scheduled on Tuesday so I came one day earlier to go to the Gielgud Theatre and watch a play which is based on a book I read… Weiterlesen behind the scenes of the British Library
It’s been a lot to take in AND I WOULD CONSTANTLY WRITE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM THAT EXCITED AND AMAZED AND GLAD TO BE HERE – things are pretty ok here I guess… . Caution! The following post might bore you to death with some librarian stuff. Apart from some visits to amazing libraries, I have… Weiterlesen what Mira’s been up to
This is going to be a very personal rant (again) and I thought it deserved its own blog post because it is something I noticed during my internship here in the UK and it is always interesting to see the cultural differences. So the topic has been concerning me for quite a long time and… Weiterlesen No, where are you REALLY from?
Scandal. Murder. Conspiracy. Online newspapers often use attention-grabbing headlines to bait some clicks, it should sound familiar to some facebook users. I never would’ve thought to witness something like that. Pretty hilarious story, I still have to smirk everytime I think or talk about it.

…on the other side of the fence… . Cambridgians seem to take their lawn business veeeeeryyyy seriously. Don’t walk on it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t take a look at it at all. I might as well completely run riot on my last day of the internship. You can take a look at some signs here.… Weiterlesen The grass is always greener…
This will be a short post about the way to the library (and also when I want to get into the city) which I have to take everyday. Poor me! I have to mention that I usually have to commute for one and a half hours between Berlin and Potsdam so I am going to enjoy the… Weiterlesen way to go!
I’m actually not very keen to go to museums but I gave it a try because apparently the Fitzwilliam Museum is a must-see attraction here. National museums won’t charge you for any admission fees (helloooo Germanyyy you also might want to consider it!) BUT in fact, I would’ve paid some, it’s definitely worth visiting. I enjoyed… Weiterlesen fitzwilliam museum
Having arrived safely in Cambridge on Saturday Morning, I’ve got the brilliant idea to walk from the train station to the accommodation without any help (no internet, no map, no asking for directions). I really don’t know what has gotten into me but it was a great way getting to know the city (…). After an exhausting hour and… Weiterlesen The Eagle has landed
You may think that it’s too much of a hassle. Why even bother? It’s time and money comsuming and you won’t get a traineeship anyway. Don’t be so negative. I used to think like that but it’s definitely worth it. Weeeeeell there is no hack or secret to share on how to get an internship.… Weiterlesen how to get an internship abroad
