Hi, my name is Anna. I was born in Moscow when it was still the capital of the former Soviet Union. My childhood dream was to become a journalist since I always liked to read, write, learn all I could about a variety of things and meet interesting people. But instead I have become a librarian.
I graduated from the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts with a degree (BA) in library science and bibliography, and was quite lucky to be selected to work for one of the largest national libraries in the world, the V.I. Lenin State Library (formerly known as the Rumyantsev Museum, and, at present, as the Russian State Library.
In 1989, I came to the United States as a political refugee. Eventually, I went back to school, and got an MLS from the Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY). I became a Government
I
nformation Librarian and worked for the Brooklyn Public Library for over 15 years.
I believe that coming to the IST PSU has been yet another logical step in my quest for data, information and knowledge. Wisdom might be somewhere around the corner, we'll see...
The image below is the 19th-century postcard of the Pashkov House overlooking the Moscow Kremlin. In the 19th century, the Pashkov House used to be a part of the Rumyantsev Museum, but now it houses the manuscript collection of the Russian State Library.
