New Librarian for Clinical Library

Congratulations to Katrina Dewis who has been appointed Clinical Librarian.

Katrina has worked in a variety of positions in the Library since 2005, including liaison librarian in Morris Miller Library. She moved to the Clinical Library in 2007 as our first Liaison Librarian B appointment under the new structure. In addition to her librarianship skills, Katrina brings significant experience as a Customer Service Business Manager, which is highly relevant to her role. With Ian Barton's retirement earlier this year, I knew there would be big shoes to fill in the Clinical Library. However, Ian could see Katrina's potential for the future and took some time to mentor her. I am delighted that having gone to external advertisement for both this position and the Art/Music Librarian position that we have internal candidates that have proved successful in a competitive field.
