I am the Deputy Director
of ILS, with specific responsibility for IT – in other words, ask me about
computers, don’t ask me about books!
I came from the University of
Southampton where I started about 13 years ago as a techy geek working on Unix
systems. Over the years, I diversified in technology, and then was
promoted into management. It was around this time I started wearing
shirts, and later suits, instead of t-shirts and jeans. For the last few
years, I was Head of Research Support in Southampton University’s IT department
and came to York St John in November, bringing with me a lot of IT experience
and qualifications in a small range of management acronyms.
The library side of things is
new to me and I’m slowly starting to get used to Library and information
management jargon. So maybe you can ask me about books. I didn’t
foresee my career spreading into this area as well, but it’s all interesting
and challenging. I’m also finding it quite fun to work in a smaller,
friendly organisation which has a strong student focus.
I think Fountains and ILS are
doing great, and I’m looking forward to helping to maintain and improve on what
we’ve done so far. Feel free to say hi to me or ask any questions to
@YSJ_ILS while I’m in control of it this week.
