My name is Megan Lucy and I am the
Vice President and Social Media Coordinator of LISSO for the 2016-2017 Academic
year. This is my second year in the Master of Science in Library Science
program, and I am working on the Information Systems academic track. So far my
favorite class has been LIS 602: Information Representation and Access, because
I really enjoyed building a thesaurus of fan fiction terms.
In Spring 2016, I participated in
the Alternative Spring Break program in Washington, D.C. I worked in the
Scholarly Communications and Information Technology department of the
Smithsonian Libraries. This experience helped me to choose Information Systems
as my academic track because I received firsthand experience working with
information systems in a large academic library and saw how important they are
to ensuring public access to information.
I am also a full time employee of
the University of Kentucky. I work as an administrative assistant in the Dean’s
Office in the College of Agriculture Food and Environment, managing faculty
personnel files and the faculty personnel information database for the college.
My plans after graduation are to pair this experience in university
administration with my knowledge of library and information science to help
universities find innovative ways to use information systems.
When I have free time (not often
between school and work!) Megan likes to do arts and crafts. She particularly
enjoys digital painting, embroidery and needle felting.
As LISSO Vice President, I am
responsible for coordinating Book Club and volunteer work at the PCSO Pride
Library in Lexington. As social media coordinator, I update this blog and the
LISSO Facebook page.
