I am delighted to announce that Lyn Gifford has accepted the fixed term role of Research Services Librarian at Macmillan Brown Library. Lyn currently works for Christchurch City Libraries and we  have made an arrangement to have her seconded to the role four days per week, while remaining in her CCL role on Fridays. This arrangement will be until the end of December 2017, after which Caroline Syddall will return to the role. Lyn has many years extensive experience working with New Zealand resources in the Aotearoa New Zealand Centre (having trained many of the current MB team who have worked there in the past!).

This is an excellent opportunity for collaboration and information sharing with our colleagues from CCL and I’d like to thank Anne for arranging this with CCL Manager, Carolyn Robertson who has been very willing to help us out.

We will welcome Lyn to UC Library on 13 February.
