It didn't change my outlook on anything

Someone can say this about any single lower undergraduate subject :)

p.s. Library Science course would have been an eye-opening experience for me, given my fascination with books and libraries when I was a teenager.

I’m not sure how fascinating it gets beyond the Dewey Decimal system, lol. There’s probably some cool stuff with document preservation and archiving. But so much of library science seems outdated now that most information is on the internet.

What they really need is a better system for internet research, the UIs those systems use last time I worked in a library on a project was terrible.
