After fleeing war-torn Sarajevo, Ms Nevenka Grandic has learnt a new language, pursued her dream of being a librarian and will soon receive a Master of Applied Science (Library and Information Management) from Charles Sturt University (CSU).  Ms Grandic settled in Canada in 1992 with limited English skills. She took classes, got a job in a library and worked on her language proficiency by reading ‘Baby-sitters Club’ books. For the past six year Ms Grandic has been the librarian at CSU in Ontario. “I truly enjoy working in a university library because in this role I cover almost all aspects of library services from acquisition, cataloguing and processing through to training students and academics,” she said. Ms Grandic said studying through distance education has supported her professional development. “It has taught me many different aspects of librarianship,” she said.”Working full-time, distance education was the best opportunity to obtain the qualification. The level of support was outstanding; the instructors were always prompt, helpful and knowledgeable.”
