Role
I am responsible for the management of library services at Kelvin Grove campus. I explore with library, academic and professional staff, how best to support research and learning and teaching in Faculties and Institutes at Kelvin Grove.
Background
My professional career has spanned senior secondary, TAFE and university libraries in Queensland and Tasmania.
In 2006 I received a Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning from the Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (now the Australian Learning and Teaching Council), the cumulative achievement of working with librarians and academics at University of Tasmania to embed information literacy in learning and teaching.
I have co-authored publications and presentations with librarians and academics in librarianship and information literacy. Selected publications and presentations include:
