There have been changes afoot at the EDINA Helpdesk. We have one new full-time member of staff, Serena Fredrick; one new part-time member of staff, Siân Gowans; while previous full-time staffer Paula Cuccurullo has moved to the SUNCAT Team.
Serena writes: I have been working in the main library at the University of Edinburgh for the last couple of years. I spent part of my time there working within the inter-library loans team, and I also worked on the e-reserves collection.
Before moving to Edinburgh, I worked at the university libraries in both Birmingham and Leicester and I have recently completed some research working with Aboriginal people in the Australian outback. I’m looking forward to working with everyone here at EDINA.
Siân writes: I previously worked on a two-year post as a Project Officer on the evaluation of the Principal’s eLearning Fund based at Higher & Community Education at the University of Edinburgh. Before that I was in the Teaching Office at Engineering and Electronics at Kings Buildings, also at Edinburgh.
Paula writes: After nine years in User Support at the EDINA Helpdesk, I’ve joined the SUNCAT team in the role of Bibliographic Assistant. I will assist the other members of the team in converting and processing contributing library records for addition to the SUNCAT service.
This is a return to my librarian roots – I was a cataloguer at Harvard’s Widener Library and a slide librarian in Edinburgh’s Fine Art Department before joining EDINA. I am pleased to be staying at EDINA with all my long-time friends and colleagues!
