Description
Solo Librarianship is a position that allows for many unique and varied experiences, with lots of helpful skills to be learned along the way. Join us as Julie Smith Maekask presents our continued discussion about Solo Librarianship Skills.
Finding information people need to do their jobs is Julie Smith
Maekask’s professional mission. This encompasses locating
information on laws, businesses, clients and competitors using tools
ranging from data analytics to messaging on trucks. Law librarian at
Eastman & Smith, Julie holds degrees in library science and business
administration from Clarion University of Pennsylvania and is
pursuing a certification in data science. Julie has experience
working in a range of libraries including school, academic and
public, both in professional and paraprofessional capacities. She is a
member of the Ohio Regional Association of Law Libraries (former
convenor of the Private Law Librarians section), Special Libraries
Association, Strategic & Competitive Intelligence Professionals and
Toledo Area Librarians Association (past president and former
treasurer). Julie has authored articles for professional publications as
well as presented at conferences. When not digging for information,
Julie spends her time digging in the garden where she also endeavors
to thwart animals’ shenanigans (with varying levels of success). She
and her husband Paul reside in Bowling Green, Ohio.
