About
I am the Senior Policy Advisor at IFLA, and have been so since January 2008. Put extremely simply, my job is to co-ordinate IFLA’s advocacy activities, with particular emphasis being paid to libraries and human rights and libraries and copyright. But of course it is far more complex than that…
Prior to being a Senior Policy Advisor I worked for IFLA first while undertaking my PhD in Library and Information Science between 2001 and 2004 at the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen, Denmark, and then as a researcher between 2004 and 2006. Before that, I worked in public libraries in the UK.
I’m writing this now as a kind of test for the new IFLA website which will be launched in early 2009. All comments are appreciated, although please be sure to mind my delicate feelings.
As a person I enjoy long walks, rare records, and good food and drink. I also appear to be able to travel to different countries every couple of weeks for work with no apparent detriment to my sanity. Yet.
