Jacqueline Cooper is from Indianapolis and currently works full-time as an acquisitions assistant at the Ruth Lilly Law Library in the IU Indianapolis Robert H. McKinney School of Law, where she is learning to copy catalog, as one of her responsibilities. She has pursued her love of books for some time as reflected in her four years in the Carmel Clay Public Library. While working there, she obtained an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree and discovered her interest in cataloging.
She is very excited to have the opportunity to return to school, taking the first steps toward pursuing her long-term professional goal of obtaining a master’s degree in library science and becoming a full-fledged cataloger.
