Things 10 and 11 - Librarianship training options and Mentoring

Thing 10 - librarianship training options - This one is pretty easy for me, as I'm undertaking an MScEcon Information and Library Studies via distance learning from Aberystwyth University. I am fortunate enough to be sponsored by work, while I'm in a librarian position. I'm still in my first year, so it's still very general, but there is plenty to be getting on with - lots of information to plough through!  I will look at Chartership after I've qualified, but for now I have plenty to do.

Thing 11 - Mentoring - I don't have a formal mentor, but I have had a lot of help from senior colleagues without whom I wouldn't be in the position I am today!  I have found people very willing to offer advice and assistance, and it's a great way to develop your professional network.
