Hi I'm Karen. I'm the latest member of the doc del team here at Murdoch after having worked for about 9 months at Curtin. I have been at Murdoch now for 3 weeks and 3 days and learning lots.
What I have found helpful as a new staff member is:
Having had some past experience to help me connect all this new learning too.
Making lots of mistakes on VDX and therefore learning all it's ins and outs.
The helpful attitude of the rest of the staff who are happy to let me make mistakes and then help me to fix them up.
Lucy's supply chart which lists all the processes of supplying documents.
Starting a new job BEFORE the beginning of semester so that I can learn what I am doing before it goes crazy.
working with wonderful people who help ease the anxiety of learning a new job.
I hope this blog page will be helpful to my Doc Del colleagues around the state and beyond? A great thing about working in this area is that we have a legitimate excuse to have contact with other library people.
Cheers
Karen
