Begin the begin

After spending the last year working here & there, I have decided to go back to school and qualify as a librarian.

While my friends tell me that a qualification in shooshing people and stamping books seems unnecessary, I am looking forward to learning about data management, classification, making information accessible and helping customers find their way through what is becoming a tangled maze of technology and typing.

Once upon a time I thought I wanted to be a web designer, but I missed working with people. Now I want to help people find information and not argue with clients about whether their logo is big enough (It’s already too big!) or why their website looks different on different screens. I hope to be asked much more interesting questions during the working day. (Am I hoping too much?)

I’m keeping this blog as a journal for my own reference, and also hopefully, down the track, a way of contributing to some of the conversations I have read between librarians online.
