A few months ago I blogged about my experiences of trying to access social media websites at The Mitchell Library in Glasgow. After that, I was invited to write an article on a similar topic, for Information Scotland. The article appeared in the April 2009 issue but has just been published online. You can access it here.

Welcome
I am a PhD researcher based within the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland.I passionately believe in the potential of public libraries to educate, challenge and inspire and am currently investigating the social value of public libraries.
My research interests encompass public library evaluation, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, auditing, and the nature of public library services in the twenty-first century.
