Introducing..

My name is Amie Baron, and I am embarking on Technological Foundations at the University of South Australia as my first subject in a Diploma of Information Management. I have not studied since completing my Bachelor of Cultural Heritage in 2011. In the first semester of that degree, I took a history unit by distance, not realising it was a third year subject. I have never felt so out of my depth… hopefully these blog posts will be a good way to be connected in with others in the course to avoid another Local History in Context 2009 disaster 😅

I work in a photographic collection three days a week, managing the cataloguing, accessioning and uploading of images to a collection access database. I love my job but often find myself frustrated at where my technology knowledge stops. That coupled with a desire to work in a library has brought me here.

I love reading, my favourite book being Name of the Wind. I have a four year old who asks me one thousand questions a day, a one year old who never stops, and a spoodle named Yoshi.
