Birgit Dankert (née Nick , born January 30, 1944 in Mühltroff ) is a German library and information scientist .

Life

Dankert attended elementary school in Borghorst, Westphalia, and the Arnoldinum grammar school in Steinfurt , where she graduated from high school in 1964. She studied German literature , art history , philosophy and journalism in Münster and Tübingen (graduating Magister Artium 1969). She then completed a second degree in library science at what was then the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (graduation: diploma librarian 1971).

Her professional career began Dankert as an editor and project manager in the Biichereizentrale Flensburg , one of his time from the German border association , the authorities and the state of Schleswig-Holstein funded organization Office for public libraries, national circular cities in Schleswig-Holstein.
