Hello everyone!

I’m Beth and I’m taking this WISE course for my Masters degree at the University of Victoria, Wellington in New Zealand! I have been studying part-time for three years, and this is my final year – hooray! I’m currently working full-time at the Parliamentary Library of New Zealand but have previously worked in libraries at the National Library of New Zealand and at the University of Alberta. Yes, I lived worked, studied and played in Canada! In 2005 I was an exchange student in Edmonton, studying Zoology and Psychology. Here I am 10 years later, studying library stuff at another Canadian University, but this time staying at home in New Zealand.

Here’s a picture of Wellington that I took a couple of months during a run. Since we’re in the southern hemisphere, it’s the middle of summer right now.

I hope you all enjoy the course and I look forward to collaborating with you!
