Blogging the Library

Blogging the Library captured the internship experience at Musselman library since the spring of 2011. Over time the blog has featured Fortenbaugh, Smith, and Holley interns. They shared updates on semester long projects, responded to blogging prompts, and documented their individual intern experience. Blogging the Library was discontinued in Fall 2018. Archived posts are currently available on The Cupola.
