Biographies
Judith Peacock is the Learning and Study Support Coordinator at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Library, Brisbane. This portfolio brings together services that support student learning in information literacy (information/research skills) and academic literacy (academic/study skills). The role coordinates strategic, administrative and operational facets of the Library's learning services.
Mal Booth is acting University Librarian at the University of Technology, Sydney. UTS Library is currently planning a brave new library and preparing an underlying framework for it that includes an automated library retrieval system, RFID, a much improved resource discovery system and a new service model for academic libraries. It won't be more of the same.
Mal was formerly Head of the Research Centre at the Australian War Memorial and responsible for Web Strategy, including Web 2.0 initiatives. From 2006 to 2008 he curated the Lawrence of Arabia & the Light Horse exhibition and in late 2008 he made the first curatorial visit to a war zone by one of the Memorial's librarian/archivists to identify, record and collect records of war from Australian forces before they withdrew from Iraq.
Maha Abed is currently the TAFE Liaison Librarian at Swinburne University of Technology, Wantirna campus. She is a member of VATL's Liaison Information and Training group and of the Seminar Committee (Information Literacy) for the CAVAL Reference Interest Group. Prior to Swinburne, Maha was employed at Open Universities Australia as an Information Coordinator and Holmesglen Institute as a Liaison Librarian. Maha also worked in primary and secondary school libraries as a Library Technician. She started her library career in 1998 and in 2000, worked as a librarian-in-training at the Victorian Parliamentary Library and as a volunteer at the Guide Dogs Association of Victoria.
Susan Roberts is a Liaison Librarian and works mainly at the Lilydale Campus of Swinburne University of Technology with a responsibility to students who are studying online, particularly Open Universities Australia students. With over 20 years working in a variety of special and academic libraries she has amassed a broad range of experience in most areas of librarianship. Her particular interests lie in the area of the provision of reference and liaison services, including the development of information literacy programs for off campus or online students and the improvement of services for students with disabilities.
Sam Searle has been the Data Management Coordinator at Monash University Library since August 2008. She previously worked in e-research business development at Victoria University of Wellington, on digital library projects at the National Library of New Zealand, and in other research, library and archives roles in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland.
Gerry Fahey is the Land and Environment Librarian at the University of Melbourne. His team services the Melbourne School of Land and Environment, a Graduate school based at four main locations in Victoria with strong national and international links. Out of necessity, working with such a diverse team and Faculty, he has become increasingly involved in exploring and utilising online platforms to enhance the Library Team as well as to deliver reference support and training to remote patrons.
Gerry's background has been in Community, Secondary and the TAFE education sectors and he has been at the University of Melbourne since 2008. He has diverse experience in teaching, community development and various library environments.
