Research & Teaching Interests
I have worked in libraries and related cultural institutions for over 20 years. From 1993 until early 2005, I have worked for the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, latterly as the Manager of their Collection Development area. During this time I taught on a casual basis at the University of Canberra and Canberra Institute of Technology.
My teaching interests include:
- Collection development – policies, selection and retention
- Preservation of digital materials
- Popular culture and libraries
- Audio visual materials
My PhD is in the area of Australian popular fiction and its preservation and I am interested in researching the role of popular culture materials and their place in documenting society.
I am very much looking forward to the coming semester and our interaction!
