My library forays

What amazing colours and design!   To find out more about Peacocks check out the  The National Geographic   To extend the Peacock theme I created a Gallery in my Flickr account, with the title Wildlife. I downloaded 3 images from Flickr to the Gallery. To view click the following:  Wildlife Gallery    I created an Album with the title Library in Flickr. I uploaded images from the Library Archives to the Album. To view click the following:  Library Archives, sample    The image and links above are succinct. However it took trial and error to get the image set up, accredit it using Creative Commons, link to the National Geographic, then to create a Gallery and an album in Flickr. The R23 post was clear and a good introduction to Images however I still had to google How to create a gallery in Flickr to complete this task.

   I studied Science at University College Dublin (UCD). After graduating I worked in Industry for 5 years. I worked in the area of Quality Control which involved testing in the Laboratory and Production areas. The industries I worked in included food, medical devices and pharmaceuticals. I enjoyed the work. However I wanted to try something different.      I worked as a Library Assistant in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown (DLR) library service, Dublin. I was based in a branch for 2 years. I covered relief work in the 9 branch libraries for another 2 years. I traveled by bike to the branches, great fun!    DLR County Council/ Library service sponsored me to study for the Higher Diploma in Library and Information Studies, 2002-2003. The course took place in UCD and was 9 months in duration. It  gave me the qualification to become a Librarian.    Since the end of 2004 I have been working as an Assistant Librarian with Roscommon Library Service.
