How to Be a Medieval Librarian in the Modern Age

Listen in to a conversation with Dr. Julia Schneider, Subject Specialist Librarian for Medieval Studies in the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Schneider wears a lot of hats and is also the Scholarly Resources and Assessment Librarian for Arts, Humanities, and Architecture as well as the subject liaison for German Language and Literature. Hear about her experience working as a university librarian, the value of working across disciplines as a medieval researcher, her pivot away from medieval exorcism, the life force that is caffeine, and what it takes to purchase a copy of a medieval manuscript.

Meeting in the Middle Ages is hosted by Will Beattie and Ben Pykare, both Ph.D. candidates at Notre Dame’s Medieval Institute. The podcast is sponsored by the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame and supported by the Medieval Academy of America’s Graduate Student Committee through their Community Building Award.
