A Day in the Life of a Snr Library Assistant – me
Hello I’m Bev and I’m the Snr Library Assistant in the William Harvey Library, George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust. This is an account of a random day in my working week. Sometimes my days are busier than others. Today was one such day. There are the everyday jobs of course to get out of […]

Clinical librarian- Billy’s a winner!

Clinical librarian blog- Busy, busy, busy!
Oh wow, what a week this has been! I’ve come back from a week’s leave to do battle with more policies for the Trust, and the majority of my week has been spent whipping them in to shape before next week’s meeting. I hate to go into a meeting unprepared, so I feel much better […]
