HUG Committee 2018
Chair:Julian Dawson We have been using Heritage at Arup since 2002, and are constantly impressed how we can adapt Heritage to our specific requirements in an engineering and design consultancy. I am a senior librarian in the Arup University which serves a global firm of 13,000 people. Outside work I am a wine drinking cricket viewing bird watcher. I have been HUG chairman for over ten years now! |

Membership Secretary:Jane Ball I am the E-learning Librarian at Richmond upon Thames College, where I manage online resources and run the Moodle VLE helpdesk. I have been working with Heritage since 2004, and became the administrator of a hosted system in 2014. I’m always convinced I can find a better way to do something, though I should have learned from my adventures with Global Change. I have previous form with LMS user group committees, having started one in the 1990s. As membership Secretary I maintain the list of members and send invitations to events. I am mainly interested in knitting and history, separately or together, though they can also be combined with wine and cricket |

FE/HE & Minutes Secretary:Deb Farrell Whilst I had previously done desk research to support project management, and was an active member of the Victorian National Parks Association's Education Committee in Melbourne, my library career didn't really begin until I moved to the University of Oxford in 2005, where I was introduced to Heritage. Combining full time work and studies, I graduated in 2010 and worked my way up from Information Assistant to Library Manager at Bournemouth & Poole College. In my spare time I enjoy family history research and bush-walking, particularly in Italy! | |

Schools:Margo Veitch I am the schools representative on the Heritage User Group Committee. I have an IT background having worked in the Computer Science Department at Glasgow University before going to work first for English Electric in the Support Department and then for ICL as a System Validator. After some time out to raise a family I started helping out in the library of a local school. I have been involved with the Heritage Library System since it was known as Bookshelf. Currently, I am the co-ordinator for the Cheshire Schools Group. This is a group of about fifty two schools throughout Cheshire, Warrington and Halton. Within the group I help to install and upgrade Heritage Systems and train the staff on the use of these systems. I also liaise between IS Oxford and the schools within the group when they have problems. |
