I did my 6 week work placement at the House of Commons Library. They arranged for me to attend Prime Minister's Question Time and I served Tony Benn in the library. He had lovely aftershave and the librarian wanted to tell him I thought so but I hadn't realised who he was when commenting on it and was far too embarrassed!

Just occured to me that it might be useful to add a link to my LinkedIn profile as well as that is almost my potted CV and shows the exact route I took in more detail.

Fancy adding this post to the wiki? Hi Maria,

Don’t know if you’ve already heard but Ned, Jennie and I have just set up a wiki to collate people’s library roots/routes stories. Fancy adding this post to the wiki?

Yeah my uni stopped teaching the undergrad a year or 2 after I did it so I don't think there's many of them out there anymore, sad but true. Seat filler was cool, I love music so being in the presence of that many major players was fab! Dear WoodsieGirl

I've only met one person who's doing an undergrad in librarianship, so it's fascinating to hear that perspective. I really wish I'd figured out what I wanted to do with my life that early! Oh also, being a seat-filler sounds awesome. V jealous! Mmmm, illuminated manuscripts…. *drool*
