I found this unit quite challenging. On the one hand, the lack of essays and papers required was truly a breath of fresh air. On the other hand, I have zero experience of cataloguing,using SCIS etc. Using the RDA Toolkit for Assessment 2 was like working in a foreign language and figuring out WebDewey for Assessment 3 even more difficult. I spent a lot of time on these assessments, checking and rechecking and was terrified I wouldn’t pass. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I did quite well on both of the assignments.
I did appreciate the overview of finding, identifying, selecting, obtaining and exploring library resources, as exercises using FRBR put me in the context of a searcher of information. Library roles such as metadata analysis had not crossed my before and now I have more of an appreciation of work done not necessarily face to face with students or teachers, but still, in support of them.
