I work in ULCC's Digital Archives Department, contributing to our many and varied e-repositories, preservation and archives projects, including the National Digital Archive of Datasets (NDAD) and Linnean Online; JISC-PoWR (Preservation of Web Resources) and SPeLOs (Significant Properties of E-learning Objects); SNEEP (Social Networking Extensions for Eprints), CLASM (Copyright Licensing Applications with SWORD for Moodle) and DPTP (Digital Preservation Training Programme).
I have worked with database systems since 1986 and Web systems since 1996 (when I developed a pilot intranet for the Forensic Science Laboratory in London). Since 2006, I have been studying part-time, on-line, for Edinburgh University's MSc in E-learning.Open Repositories 2010 in Madrid
