New SUNCAT Team Member

Hello everyone!

My name is Celia Jenkins and I am the newest member of the SUNCAT team (having started here in October). My post is 'Bibliographic Assistant', assisting Moira Whitson with the processing of Contributing Libraries' updates and checking data conversions. I am now getting the hang of the data checking (using UNIX - which is a first for me), and am enjoying being part of the great SUNCAT service!
Before this post I was an Information Officer at the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC), working on the website and various electronic services, such as SCONE, CAIRNS and SLIR (see http://www.slainte.org.uk).
Before SLIC I was a Research Assistant at Loughborough University, working on the JISC 'Partnering on Copyright' programme - looking at copyright issues with regards to Open Access and digital repositories. I have always had an interest in electronic resources, so it is great to be able to work with the SUNCAT team.
