Today I am tired and am looking forward to going home. That being said, today was also the best day we have had so far in my opinion.
My elective today was the University of Canberra library and the Lu Rees Australian Children's literature library housed there.
The Lu Rees library is like the best book shop you will never be able to buy anything from, and if I could work anywhere or set up my own library it would be exactly like Lu Rees. And the most amazing thing is that they do it on no budget at all. I am in awe!!!!!
The other great thing about this morning's session was learning about how UC deliver their information literacy program. As a TL in a high school I feel like my role is to prepare students for higher education and in many ways I would like to model my library on university rather than school ones.
Some things I saw that I would like to implement are librarians being 'on call' for faculties and having a research assistance desk.
We also went to the War Memorial today - who knew they had a library?! Heard some beautiful stories about donations of private records. If I worked there I think I would be crying every day.
Last day tomorrow, yay!
