My name is Susanne and I’m on a 4 weeks placement at the GWL. Im from Germany where I’m studying Cultural Studies in my final year. I applied for this placement not knowing much about the library. After 3 weeks of work I have to say it was a great choice. Everybody is so nice and helpful.
My main job here is documenting events and bringing order into loads of old and forgotten tapes. I also did some research on the history walk project which i really enjoyed. Before I started working in the library I was a bit concerned about the language. Knowing that there are some Scottish people whose English doesn’t even sound like English to me, I’m very happy that I hardly have any problems. And with a cup of tea everything is easier anyway!
