Today was our second day of work experience, and we're starting to get used to the building and its layout. Today we met a man called Simon who works with digital images and equipment. He showed us how to use professional cameras and our task was to explore all the floors and take photos that interested us. When we came back, a lot of the images were quite out of focus so Simon came round the building with us for a second go (with tripods). This time the images were much better, and for the rest of the morning he let us take photos of some really old drawings from the "special collection" at the Adsetts centre. We then had our lunch and a quick walk around town. When we got back, we were taken on a tour of the "special collection" with Kate Smith, which we found really interesting. She showed us some photos from the 50's and 60's and interesting documents about the college of art. We have now learned that there are many different types of jobs available in a Library - not just being a librarian. Also, we have gained knowledge of how staff support students eg. help desk. We both agree the most interesting thing was the tour of the special collection with Kate, which we really enjoyed, as we both have an interest in art and books.
