I really enjoyed learning how to use the software as it&#8217;s a very dynamic program and integrating other softwares into my final project.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, I also worked as the Digital Archives and Collection Intern at Drake Community Library.

I hope to continue this work in my future path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Libby Eggert, and I am a fourth-year at Grinnell College.
