Friday morning - meeting new people

This morning, we went to see Linda Purdy, who is in charge of the media materials and the copyright team. She told us about her work, and what we will be doing on Monday. She also showed us how students can access copyright free material on the library catalogue. After this we had a short break and met another person on work experience. Then we went to meet Kate Scott, who works as a librarian. We helped her scan the books using a special machine called a "library assistant" to find out if any of the books had anything wrong with them or if they were in the wrong place. After we did this, we went into Kate's office and she showed us how to correct the mistakes on the books she had taken off the shelves, by using a scanner and typing details into the computer. This helped us gain further knowlegde of library work and looking after book collections.
