Senior Library Assistant and IT Support for Trevithick Library and Inter-library Loan Assistant<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job description in a nutshell<br \/>\n<\/strong>I help with the day to day running of the library, assist students and staff with IT queries and look after the @Trevliby Twitter account. I also process requests for loans from the British Library and other educational institutions<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did you grow up?<\/strong><br \/>\nCardiff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you do before the library?<\/strong><br \/>\nI worked in Blackwell\u2019s University Bookshop in the students union. I also did some graphic design work creating \u2018overhead projector slides\u2019 for port worker training packs. I\u2019m now an expert on health and safety measures utilised in ports!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you reading?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m currently reading the new Cormoran Strike mystery from Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling). Loved the first two and this one isn\u2019t letting the side down. I also have my eye on The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King, which is next in my ever increasing \u2018to read\u2019 pile. I never miss a new book from Mr King.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hard copy or electronic?<\/strong><br \/>\nHard copy, I love a real book although I do own a kindle. I bought it thinking it would save me some space at home but I can\u2019t resist the real thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your favourite things about Cardiff? Any hidden gems that you would recommend?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The city centre with its shops and crucially the Cineworld cinema where I spend a lot of my spare time. Roath Park is perfect for a walk. I recommend a visit to Chapter Arts Centre and its fabulous cinema which often shows old movies and retrospectives as well as new releases. The caf\u00e9 does some very tasty meals too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you didn\u2019t work in a library, what would be your dream job?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;d love to work behind the scenes in movies or TV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best thing about working here at the university?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My colleagues. I work with a lovely bunch of people. I also love the feeling you get when you\u2019ve really helped someone out, especially around \u2018hand in\u2019 time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Name and job title? Jackie.
