Hello everyone, I graduated with a library management degree this year and am working as Library Assistant in a law school. My manager is going to be my mentor but she needs to wait for a refresher course so she can help me develop my PPDP. I want to attend one of the seminars for new candidates but there aren't any in the northwest at the moment. Therefore, I cannot progress with my PPDP or register for chartership at the moment. My question is what can I do in the meantime, rather than simply waiting? I am keeping a diary of my work but it tends to be mostly housekeeping (i.e. loose-leaf filing, serving customers, a little bit of cataloguing). I have responsiblity for running our small stationery shop so I wondered if this could count as valuable experience? I am doing a customer service training course this week and intend to take notes on what we do and how I applied it at work afterwards. Any advice would be very welcome as I feel like my professional development is beginning to stagnate! Thank you, James
