About Accessioning

Ok, I wonder whether I can come up with an exciting title; maybe I can change it later. These days I tried to do some accessing work, which includes registering and cataluging. I don't know it is lucky or not, for I got a kind of feeling which it is very hard to describe. During my intern, I find that I still have a lot to know and need much more to practise. I am a person who is never tired of finding knowledge in books but now I know that learning from practice is more efficient and useful than learning from books, though we need to learn from books because acedemic theory can elevate our work to a high status. With respect to cataloguing, I had knew this word from one of my course, but I did not try this until yesterday. I think the most difficult part for me is describing the artwork and checking the condition, because my native language is not English. After seeing the registra done this, I tried to finish several artworks on my own, and I did make it, and I did very well in playing the torch.

  1. The internship expreience could help us find what we need to learn. Learning from practice is more efficient than learning from books, indeed~

  2. I think it is important to find a happy medium of theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills. Sometimes we can avoid wasted time/effort if we use refer to our theoretical knowledge as well as using practical experience.

  3. I think you have summed up why the intership is so important Shanjun- after so much theoretical learning, it is very important to cement and build on our knowledge with practical experience- you need both aspects of it to be able to work successfully!
