Professional Experience
I currently hold the role of systems librarian and am responsible for leading the technical development, delivery and support of the library management system and associated systems, along with the design and maintenance of the library website LibGuides and social media channels.
As a librarian in an academic environment I teach the information, digital literacy and research skills students need to succeed in higher education, these skills are key to academic development in addition to lifelong and independent learning. I impart research skills, information literacy skills, and referencing and bibliographic software understanding, exploring student engagement techniques in online and face-to-face teaching. I assist in the design of modules and instruction in information literacy and collaborate with academic staff in the integration of library resources into the curriculum.
