When I was applying for library jobs, I found myself spending hours reading the Library Day in the Life Wiki. It is a project that runs twice a year where librarians (and other information professionals) can sign up and blog about a day in their life, literally. The general rule is to do a week, and the next round starts on Monday.
To sign up, go to Library Day in the Life, set up a free PB Wiki account and add your name, job title, and link to your blog. It would be interesting to have a day in the life of all the trainees on this blog (partly because it might help me with my project) and I’m sure would be helpful to anybody thinking of applying to the trainee scheme!
What is your project?
Hi Rose, I’m doing my project on the experience of the Bodleian trainee and how it has changed ‘over the years’, but would be nice to get some info from the other trainees on how the Bod traineeship differs from some of the others.
