I am very happy to announce that I have finally set up my Work Experience. I will be conducting my work experience at the TAFE Arts Library.
I am very excited about this!
I am
most of all hoping to learn a whole new type of library and the extra skills
that can come along with work experience from a special library. I believe that
it will make the skills that I already have and am learning, even stronger.
Doing
work experience in a specialist library I feel will hone more specific skills
as working in a specialist Library most of these work with a specific subject
such as Law, Medical, people with special needs. This means you can focus on a
particular are that you are actually interested in rather than working in a
Library that has everything and you don’t know where half the materials even
are.
Working
in a specialist library especially if you are able to work in an area that you
are already interested in this would be a beneficial place to work in. It would
also be a wonderful idea as working in an area that you are already interested
in will also give you avenues in a field that you are interested in. You may
even discover materials and collections that you may not have even known have
existed.
It
would also be a good experience to also about any new databases that a
speciality library may have and learn the differences between libraries such a
public library and speciality library. It would very rewarding and interesting
to learn the type of clientele that would come through a speciality library. Do
speciality libraries only have a specific type of client or can anyone walk
through the Library?
