🔔Oxford trainee opportunity🔔 An exciting new graduate trainee role at the Bodleian libraries has come up in resource description. ⏰Deadline: 9th August 👉More info here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
Yesterday was the trainee showcase, where we had the chance to present the projects we have been working on in the past year! It was fantastic and truly inspiring to hear about the diverse work going on across the different libraries in Oxford 😊
Today, some of us got the chance to visit @LibAllSouls and peruse the exhibition prepared by the All Souls Trainee Focusing on how generations of librarians have dealt with information and metadata, it provided a fascinating insight into cataloguing through the ages!
That's a wrap on a busy week featuring not one but two Open Days! It's always fun to deliver library tours on days like these, giving potential students an insight into the spaces and collections we have to offer.
🔔Graduate trainee opportunity🔔 The University of Bath is advertising for a graduate trainee library assistant to work primarily in their Library's Technical Services area. ⏰Deadline: 8th July More details here: bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.a…
Have you ever bought butter that turned out "to contain a snowball at its core"? This description of how the sale of adulterated food changed over time is from the "Report on the State of Public Health in the City of Dublin for the year 1892". #LibraryFinds @HistMedLibOx
This week we visited @BodleianHCL Cairns Library and learnt how Outreach Librarians at healthcare libraries conduct literature reviews, go to meetings with medical staff to learn their research needs, and teach information skills - including from tea trolleys on busy wards!🏥📚
🔔Graduate Trainee Opportunity 🔔 Another chance to join the library traineeship programme here in Oxford with @OxUnionLibrary ⏰ Deadline: 8th July More details here: oxford-union.org/resources/vaca…
Should you judge a book by its cover? 🤔 It was the vibrant binding of this volume on botany which attracted the trainee at @StJohnsOxLib, who opened it to discover these lovely pressed flowers and a handwritten note! 💐 #LibraryFinds HB4/4.b.2.9
This week the trainees visited the @OxUnionLibrary and Bodleian Electronic Archives and Manuscripts department. It was fascinating to learn about library work in a historic student-led society, and the challenges of conserving born digital material for posterity!
Congratulations to the trainee @NewCollegeLib for curating this excellent exhibition examining mythical creatures across a range of Special Collections items, including medieval manuscripts, early printed works, maps and more! 🐲
