I’m happy to share that I’ve started a new position as Development Manager at ALN! Working alongside my academic liaison role at Newcastle Uni. I'm so pleased; an opportunity to help others share good practice, learn from each other and make connections between library staff (all the things I love!)

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Those journal articles, ebooks, bits of data you found? The uni library paid hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions for all that, depending on size of uni. Then we hooked it all up mostly seamlessly so you didn't notice.
