Hello, I’m Sarah and I am the library trainee at the Women’s Health Library, based at the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the John Radcliffe Hospital. The library is an online resource, and part of an NHS wide service called ‘NHS Evidence’ and was created as part of the ‘High Quality Care for All Report’ from Lord Darzi who stated that “All NHS Staff will have access to a new NHS Evidence service where they will be able to get, through a single web-based portal, authoritative clinical and non-clinical evidence and best practices” (NHS Evidence webpage).
With librarians and Clinical Leads/Fellows working on the project, it is designed to provide professionals involved in the care of woman access to the best current knowledge available, and is checked and updated regularly. I look forward to learning more about the ways a digital library works, and doing a project which will benefit the library.
Previously, I was working in the NHS as a health records clerk whilst studying for my LL.M in Commercial Law; and before this, I read English Language at Lancaster University.
Hello. I am one of two trainees at the Bodleian Law Library. I recently graduated from Bath Spa University in a Creative Writing and English Literature degree. My only previous work experience in a library was at my local library in my hometown in Bristol. What attracted me towards this career was providing a service to people, which I loved doing in my previous job. I also like that there are such a variety of libraries to work in, whether it’s public or academic, and that there are many different departments to work in within a library. Whilst my fellow trainee works in Academic Services, I work in Information Resources, which deals with books as they first enter the library to be catalogued. I’m looking forward to working in such a large library and also in Oxford, which is a beautiful place to live.
Hello, I’m one of two trainees working at the Bodleian Law Library. I have just graduated from the University of Warwick with a BA in Theatre and Performance Studies and have never worked in a library before. My interest in this career path stems from the time spent in various libraries doing research for my degree. I was able to spend time at specialist theatre libraries and archives, which resulted in an interest in working as a librarian rather than using libraries an academic!
Hello, I am really excited about my graduate trainee year at the Sainsbury Library. I am look forward to interacting with the readers and being a productive member of staff who is a really valuable part of the library team. I am really enjoying learning new skills and hope that I can do a project this year that will really benefit the readers and staff at the SBS library.
