Patrick is a first semester graduate student at Pratt Institute in the Library and Information Science program. After obtaining his undergraduate degree in Psychology from Fordham University, Patrick decided to seek an advanced degree in Library Science based on a family tradition of entering the librarian profession, as well as a desire to contribute to the good that libraries do for society at large.
Patrick’s interest in this project was motivated by a lifelong fascination with history, in that this project offered a chance to expand his knowledge of a culture and artform about which he knew nearly nothing.
