At present I’m working at Barnfield College as a Study Resource Assistant, through my work at Barnfield I have developed my administrative experience by carrying out duties by using the Heritage Library System, by issuing, returning, renewals of books, dvds and overdue book payments, classify and catalogue book resources, using specific criteria to search for books when students or staff request me to do this, either by phone or face to face, Using the Service Desk to report any damage to any equipment (photocopier or printer not working, damage to any of computers or furniture or any spillage in are department), sending emails so that I can liaison with other members of staff around the college. My willingness to learn new skills has made me become familiar with the colleges e-learning system (Moodle, staff net) application of e-learning in teaching, learning and assessment.
