My current post is with CILIP as director of CILIP in Scotland delivering the CILIP membership offer across the country and supporting our branches and Special Interest Groups. As a qualified librarian I began my career in school libraries before undertaking some education qualifications and moving on to work in further education colleges in Glasgow. Prior to my current post I spent nine years as assistant director of the Scottish Library and Information Council, the advisory body to Scottish Government on library services.
