Hello! I’m Lizzie and I’m the trainee at the Radcliffe Science Library, although I’ll also be spending one day a week at the Alexander Library of Ornithology and one day a week at the Sherardian Library of Plant Taxonomy. I graduated this summer from Cambridge University where I studied Natural Sciences, specialising in Geological Sciences.
Last summer, having decided librarianship might be the career for me, I volunteered at the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library of the English Folk Dance and Song Society where I worked with both the librarian and archivist. Then this summer I spent three weeks doing work experience at the Earth Sciences Library of Cambridge University. These placements gave me an insight into the world of librarianship and were both experiences which I thoroughly enjoyed.
So far I have spent a lot of my time here on the enquiry desk and now feel just about ready for all the new students and their questions! I have also been given a wide variety of other tasks and am very much looking forward to an interesting, varied and rewarding year as a trainee here in Oxford.
