Work Experience Student
Rachel Pallister a pupil at Royds Language College spent a week in the Brotherton Library on work experience. Below are her thoughts about her time with us:
With ornate marble stone pillars and an azure lit dome roof, the Brotherton Library looks magnificent; the sort of place that you imagine when you think of a library. Having spent a week here as my work experience placement, I have discovered, that after working as a librarian at my school library, working at a university library is on a much larger and more complex scale. However, if, after you have re-stacked and re-organised books on to their appropriate shelves and have checked that everything is labelled correctly, a student is then helped by using the book – even when they put the book back in another place afterwards – it gives you a sense of satisfaction to know that a stranger has been helped by your work. The staff I worked with were all very pleasant and understanding explaining about aspects of their job. With most students gone, except the graduates coming in at various points during the week for their ceremony, the library was a quiet and relaxing place to be, although the staff working there repeatedly told me that in September it is mayhem, with new and old students running about the campus in search of books for their course. Conclusively, my week stay at the library was an altogether enjoyable experience, observing the pace of work and what is needed to ensure that the entire library runs smoothly.

Refugee Voices: an e-resource now available
Refugee Voices is a collection of 150 filmed interviews with former refugees from Nazism now living in Britain. It was commissioned by the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) in 2003, and consists of more than 450 hours of filmed interviews.
All interviews have been fully transcribed enabling a researcher to be able to see an interview and then to read a transcript of the words spoken in it, or vice versa. Both films and the transcripts are time-coded, making it possible to locate specific passages with a minimum of effort. Each interview is also accompanied by still shots of photos of family members, friends, and places of importance for the interviewee, along with items or documents of special significance in the interviewee’s life. These filmed photographs, artefacts, and documents provide a rich resource.
Refugee Voices is now available in Special Collections. Please look for it in the catalogue.

New German literature database goes live
We've just taken out a new subscription to the database Bibliographie der deutschen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft (BDSL) Online. We've always had it in paper form, but have now got the online version as well. This will mean faster searching and being able to search all years together. It covers all aspects of German language and literature, and is in German.
Give it a go and let me know what you think! It's available through our Library Catalogue at: http://lib.leeds.ac.uk/record=e1001155
Maureen Pinder,
Faculty Team Librarian for German.
