Client feedback

I thought I would share this lovely comment that came through the Library Queries email this week from one of our clients.

Hi

Just wanted to say Thank you to the great team in library. It must get frustrating putting up with daft questions from us first years! For me personally, everyone has been friendly & helpful, and has helped take some of stress out of researching/referencing for assignments.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Farewell to Anne Shepherd

On Tuesday 4 May 2010, we farewelled Anne Shepherd, Library Assistant, Client Services, Morris Miller Library. Anne is very pleased to take up a contract position at the State Reference Library here in Hobart. Anne was awarded her Graduate Diploma in Information Management from UTAS in 2008 and has been most eager to gain a Librarian position.


From 2005 to 2008 Anne worked at as part of the Service Desk team in Launceston. She then transferred to the Morris Miller Library so that she could undertake her librarianship studies. On graduation in 2009, Anne worked on contract as a Liaison Librarian based at the Morris Miller Library while others were on leave, so she has some good experience to take with her to the State Library.

We wish Anne well and thank her for her contribution to our services.
