<< I have been a member of the Education Librarians Group for more years
than I can remember. After spells in public libraries, partly as a
children's and schools librarian, I worked in a College of Education (to
find out how teachers ticked). I then went to Loughborough University,
firstly as a Research Fellow, then as Liaison and Training Officer managing
some 90 students' work experience placements, then lecturer in media, IT,
education, schools, and some management. In between, I worked at Liverpool
Poly on the User Ed in Schools project led by Wilf Snape (the final report
has sold more copies than any other British Library report!), and had two
spells of secondment to the Microelectronics Education Programme (MEP) and
its successor, the Microelectronics Education Support Unit (MESU, now NCET).
More recently I worked in CERLIM, Peter Brophy's energetic and successful
Centre for Research in Library and Information Management, which moved after
I left from Central Lancs to Manchester Met, and then to Thames Valley
University to lead a converged unit of learning resource centres, information
management and teaching and learning programmes, and materials development.
The true story of TVU has yet to be told, but it has been three years of
great challenge and immense interest.
I have a high regard for 'education librarians', especially for their
creation of the invaluable British Education Index, but wish so much that we
could unite all of those working in education under one umbrella, instead of
all the separate groups (e.g. schools, education, FE, HE). To have such a
single voice, backed by a larger and thus more powerful community, would
provide the voice and clout needed for our government and general population.
