Work Experience!

Work Experience

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?
