Episode 18 - Michael Jones

Published: Jan. 23, 2018, midnight

This week I chat to Michael Jones Assistant Library Manager at a 6th form college. We spent quite a bit of time discussing mechanisms for informal networking at conferences during the episode and its great to see that this is being taken more seriously by conference organisers.  We could have chatted about films for ages (sound the Wittertainment klaxon) but we were very well-behaved and managed to focus on Michael's journey to becoming a qualified information professional. I knew a little bit anecdotally about working in a 6th form college library, but Michael's insights into the high points and challenges are fascinating. We also chatted about his role as Chair of ARLG Southern.
