Congratulations to our Summer Interns, who presented on their work to UCC Library staff yesterday.
The presentations showcased the wide range of projects undertaken across the Library over the summer months. We were impressed by the quality of the work completed, the insights gained through the projects, and the professionalism with which each intern presented their work. And we were very entertained by the presentations themselves.
