I am pleased to advise that Nicola Hanlon is the second Information Resource Assistant to start work with the Library Support Servicesteam. Nicola’s first day will be Monday 9 July.

Nicola has been living in Nelson and is in the process of moving down to Christchurch.

Nicola worked as a Library Assistant and then Assistant Librarian from 2003-2011 at the Library of Dundalk Institute of Technology, Dundalk, Ireland.
During this time Nicola completed her Post Graduate Diploma in Library and Information Studies. Nicola has work within a similar team to ours learning the wide range of tasks associated with acquisition, cataloguing, serials and a research repository.

Nicola will be based with the Interloans team for the duration of her contract and Sue Thompson will be guiding her through our interloans processes.

I will be bringing Ali Beken and Nicola to the libraries on Monday 9 July in the afternoon to ensure they know where all of our library spaces are what services are available to them on the Ilam campus.
