Information workers
Various diarists worked in the field of providing information. One was the
manager of a Citizen's
Advice Bureau.
- Went to work - got there on time for a change. Busy day at
work - also discussed keeping a diary and how a woman's day has changed
since 1891 and the things that we take for granted like doctors, telephone,
computers etc. Our Internet access is down at work and until today I didn't
realise how much we use it - needed it three times today and couldn't
use it. Day passed quickly because we were busy, didn't get chance for
a lunch break.
Two others worked in tourists
information centres.

Brecon Tourist Information Office

- Work at Tourist Information centre. Meet
visitors from many parts of the world today ie USA, Australia, Japan, Germany
etc. Give advice on local area.
Another worked as an Information technology manager for the local authority.
- I rushed to clock into work where the familiar routines of
the morning calmed the stress of the earlier mad rush. Checked emails, browsed
the Web for material for the website I manage, edited webpages, discussed
perl and cgi scripts with a script expert I had never met before on the other
side of the world and read minutes which would be held later via video conference
between Brecon and Llandrindod Wells. Lunch at my desk. Afternoon meeting
lasted almost 2 ½ hours! Back to answer more emails and then clock
off!
A day in the life of a modern records assistant can be seen
here and the diary
of a local studies librarian can be seen here.
