Hi, I have just found out I have been accepted into grad school. It was always a long shot, but now I am in. I have already taken several LIS courses at U of I and am now officially enrolled in the program starting fall 2014. The question is what to do now. I do not have experience in libraries and every job opportunity I have applied for did not consider me a good match. I have been looking for volunteer opportunities but so far every library I have visited either does not have volunteer positions available or only accepts high school students. So my question is, does anyone know of any opportunities in the greater Chicago area (preferably southwestern suburbs)?
I am very happy to have been accepted into the program, now the real work begins.
