About meI am University Librarian at the University of Technology, Sydney. We are currently planning a new centralised library at the heart of a redeveloped city campus for UTS. I was formerly Head of the Research Centre at the Australian War Memorial and responsible for Web Strategy, specifically with regard to the use of Web 2.0 initiatives. From 2006 to 2008 I curated the Lawrence of Arabia & the Light Horse exhibition and in 2008 made the first visit by a Memorial librarian/archivist to a war zone to identify, record and collect records of war from Iraq before Australian forces were withdrawn.

About my libraryI am a bit lazy and haphazard in my approach to cataloguing. Moving house in 2009 didn't help. It just caused more confusion.
