Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I will try here.  I won't be able to come to the conference, but I would love to be a part of the conversation.  I'm not quite a dance librarian yet, but I decided a year into my M.A. in dance that this was the career most suited to me.  I'm 1/4 of the way through my MLS.  

While this career is rather obscure, I am also struggling to find my way into a position later on.  I have the education, but how do I get the experience and job offer as a dance librarian?  Internships and positions in this field are hard to find and come by.  I'm using every connection I have to meet people in this field in order to find opportunities and information.  I know that I could help the field, but how do I connect to the field to let them know that?

Thanks! - Kat Bell
