The major goal of the University of "Kiev-Mohyla Academy" Library is to serve students and professors and to provide them with open access to international information. Therefore my University Library is interested in different networks which would help them in their studies and research.

The University of "Kiev-Mohyla Academy" Library is working on establishing an electronic catalog and putting all library processes on line. Therefore, the knowledge and experience that I have acquired during my internship at the Sterling Memorial Library will help to accelerate this process.

My goal was to become familiar with Yale University Library, its organizational structures and operations, to become personally acquainted with the Slavic Collection and other special collections, and to study the library computer system.

During my internship I was able to compare Ukrainian and American library systems specifically through my experience of working at both the UKMA and Yale University libraries. For example, in regard to library computer operations, I have concluded that the ORBIS system at Yale is very convenient for all library processes and I am convinced that my library at UKMA will set up a computer system which is quite similar to the ORBIS system.

I have learned to create and use all types of records. I have also learned how to derive bibliographical information from the Library of Congress and input this into ORBIS, and therefore I am certain that the skills which I have acquired during my internship are those which would be readily applicable to the University of "Kiev-Mohyla Academy" Library.

General objectives:

• Familiarization with the Yale University Library, its organizational structure, operations and departmental libraries
• Learning Yale's cataloging system
• Attend lectures at Yale
