Library Day in the Life

I am the E-resources officer at Liverpool John Moores university library, well for the time being anyway (covering maternity leave) but I am also a member of the Marketing team so some of the stuff I get up to relates to that especially this week.

So first thing this morning is was off to one of our other sites for a walk round to see where I can put up posters for our first marketing campaign of the year. We are promoting the availability of PCs and our laptop loans scheme.

That sorted it was off for a quick chat with my manager about a job I am going to apply for, got to be in on Friday. I will be glad when it's finished to be honest. This was followed by a walk across town to the site I am currently based in, to start the day job.

After spending most of last Friday designing posters I needed to catch up with emails, some of which has come in over the weekend. Bit of a mix bag as always but that is the nature of this job. There were a couple from students trying to access resources, a couple of journal queries that have now been resolved, hurrah. Then it was a licence agreement to sign, an invoice to process then lunch.

After lunch more queries, whilst checking out Twitter for any snippets of useful information and postings from others. Then another licence agreement to fill in and sign and more invoice queries.

Tomorrow I'm off to our third site first thing to check out poster locations, then I just need to do the one I'm based at - isn't it always the way that the place you are in gets sorted last!
