Last week all the library trainees had a visit to the Cairns Library. I went along partly to see how the tour would be given (as opposed to me shadowing other librarians) and partly to see how the other trainees would respond to a medical library. There was a brief tour round the library, before [...]

My last day at the Cairns library was a few weeks ago now, but I will attempt to stretch my memory that far back… First off was the usual library meeting; but this was then followed by the enquiry team meeting which I sat in on. Issues and queries relating to being an enquiry librarian [...]

I’m not entirely sure where my fourth placement day at the Cairns went – it sped by so quickly! Although it seems that 2010 is slipping away, but then, that is neither here nor there… So, as usual for a Wednesday morning we had a staff meeting where some people also recounted various sessions they [...]

My second day at the Cairns Library was the week before last; and as with the first, it was thoroughly enjoyable and interesting to sample the various tasks a health care librarian might encounter on a daily basis.

Well, last Wednesday was my first day at the Cairns Library; and it was great! On Wednesdays the library does not open until 10.00am due to staff training/meetings in the morning (which in future I will take part in); but on this first day I was going to go visit the Girdlestone Memorial Library at [...]

Today I went to visit the Cairns Library before my placement starts there in March (starting on the 3rd March I will shadow someone there every Wednesday for five weeks). I met with the head of Oxford Healthcare Libraries (HCL), and he showed me round the library and gave me some background information on the [...]
