Biography:

I started my career working in the Royal College of Art Library, before moving to Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and then to Building Design Partnership. I then moved to Manchester Metropolitan University where I worked in the University Library, lectured part-time in the Department of Indformation and Communication and led two projects on Information skills, the JISC funded Big Blue and Big Blue connect.

Following on from both those projects I have continued working with the JISC and Netskills on the development of staff i-skills.
