ELAINE FULTON TO BE NEW DIRECTOR OF SLIC AND CILIPS
Will head Scottish Library & Information Council and Chartered Institute of
Library and Information Professionals in Scotland from end of year
SLIC and CILIPS are delighted to announce the appointment of Elaine Fulton
as Director, succeeding Robert Craig, who will retire at the end of the
year. Elaine is presently Assistant Director and has had a distinguished
career in Scottish libraries.
Elaine held several posts in public libraries for a period of 20 years and
spent a short time working with an automated system supplier. The
development of information and communications technology systems and
services in libraries has been the mainstay of her professional work. She is
currently involved in developments in interoperability and access standards,
and encouraging co-operation and collaboration in the library and
information sectors and with a number of key national agencies.
Elaine Fulton said "I am looking forward to taking up this challenging post
at this time of huge opportunity for librarians, and library and information
services. I aim to build on the work of both organizations to work across
the diverse and related interests of members."
