As part of a two-person team in the Ashburner Library, I support the Library Manager in a broad sweep of tasks, processes, and projects. Most, if not all, can fall into the following categories:
- Advocating and assisting open access publishing;
- Engaging with researchers and staff across campus;
- Managing the library collection and resources;
- Discovering and accessing new learning materials;
- Maintaining the physical library space.
I have special interests in:
- The effect of AI/LLMs in scholarly communications, especially in copyright and the Creative Commons licences;
- Open bibliometric metadata and open infrastructure;
- Advocating for Green Open Access, otherwise known as ‘self-archiving your manuscript in a repository’.
