Librarian (Trainee/Fieldwork Placement)Endeavour College Of Natural Health Sep 2014 - Oct 2014Brisbane, AustraliaPart of the condition of completing my masters requires that I participate in fieldwork placements. I was fortunate that the library at the Endeavour College of Natural Health was willing to accommodate me. During the time I spent there, I fulfilled the standard operations of working in a library such as assisting staff and students with enquiries, locating resources, and using equipment. I also spent time on the circulation desk and shelved items. Being an academic library, I was involved in critiquing software from a user perspective that, at some point in the future, was to be used by the students. As a result of this, I not only wrote a critique but extra instructions for the use of the software. The remaining part of my fieldwork placement was spent sourcing and assessing online video tutorials to be used by students. -
