It all started in a pew in my college library as I revised for finals around 5 years ago. I was busy reading my notes on Greek archaeology and Latin didactic poetry when I overheard the library staff having discussions about book lists, cataloguing standards and e-journals and I was quite intrigued: there was more to this librarian lark that I had thought! At the time, I was a typical Oxford fourth year student: panicking about the fact that I was about to leave the comfort of the university bubble for the big bad world of corporates. I was toying with the idea of doing a law conversion with my Classics degree but was’nt sold on it so I started looking up librarianship as a career and was interested to learn that not only did you require an MSc but you were also advised to undertake a traineeship before doing the Masters. http://bit.ly/1Cc1MmK http://bit.ly/1Cc1MmK+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
