Keeping my fingers crossed about getting a volunteer position at the Oregon Historical Society's research library. According to the volunteer coordinator, the head librarian likes to give a leg up to MLIS students. This would be awesome for two primary reasons:
1) It's practical experience, thus hopefully making the $40,000 debt I'm accruing to get a professional degree more likely to result in a job.
2) Because Rachel : college as fish : water, I'm thinking about getting a Masters in History IF i can get a fellowship that would pay for it. PSU offers a History fellowship through the OHS, and this would give me an excellent in.

This sounds like just the kind of volunteer job I'd salivate over. I volunteered at the San Diego Historical Society for a while processing their big ol' archive and it was luverly. I have considered getting my Master's in history as well to complement ye olde MLS so that I'm more likely to be a candidate as an archivist...not sure yet.
