This post will be used to jot down questions I have for Judy Matthews, the Astronomy Librarian here at Michigan State University. Note that the actual interview, and answers to most of these questions (and some new ones), will be posted on a later date after the interview has been conducted. Also note that some, if not most, of these questions will changed or be discarded as I will want to ask questions that are relevant to the discussion and topic.
1. As our university's subject librarian for astronomy, what is your job?
2. What are some things you have published?
3. What would you say your style of writing is?
4. Is there anything about MSU's program for astronomy that sets us apart from other schools?
5. Can you tell me more on how our buildings on campus can be beneficial to students studying astronomy?
6. What about the planetarium? What exactly is it used for?
7. Any new advancements in astronomy at MSU specifically?
8. What are some things we can do today here on campus that we couldn't do maybe 20/50/100 years ago?
9. How has technology improved in general, and not just at MSU?
10. What about astronomy makes you want to wake up and go to work everyday?
11. How useful is astronomy in our everyday lives? What are some everyday applications that might be looked over by most?
12. What are some of today's hot topics in the field?
13. Where will we be in the next 10-20 years?
