I wanted to be part of universal academic world and gaining network that contribute my career. I think that it will be pushed up to do serious effective works changing and finding solution some important issues in information science. I really want to be part of the solution any more.

I have been involved in the information science discipline in one way and another for over a decade. I have published in JASIST and Journal of Documentation, (collaborative information seeking and retrieval, data work) and participated in ASIST conferences. Current externally-funded research projects in data sharing (Wellcome Trust) and Accountability and Ethics (EPSRC) have given my interest in information processing an additional impetus. My research and teaching interests in information governance is particularly something that I would like to bring to the role.

I worked for the ESC last year, now I want to participate in the EC as I am not a student anymore and also feel prepared to actively support the activities.

I like to plan creative events and look forward to recruit new members for EC. Last year I was an officer at the ESC and would like to get in touch with more people who are more involved into research activities.

I value myself to be a person who has values, Honesty and reliability. I believe that through transparency and Accountability good governance is highly possible, being a person with good integrity valued communication skills and having such good ability of working under pressure and still produce good results. All that I believe to be will be achieved through real socio-economic transformation and the pursuit of fairness and equality.

I create social media posts to promote events happening in my department. I would be happy to create posts to promote EC events. Posts could also be created to promote the research of EC members.

I’m fascinated by information, and particularly information literacy and information behaviour, and look forward to working with other information scientists. Having not been involved in professional committees for a couple of years, I'd like to contribute again! Previous involvements include Chair of the Institute of Information Scientists Marketing Committee and its Scottish Branch; and chair ASIS&T European Chapter 199-2000. I was an elected member of IFLA’s Standing committee on Marketing & Management 2001- 9 and its Information Literacy committee 2009-2017. 2016-19 I was co-chair of UNESCO’s GAPMIL European Chapter. I am a recipient of the Jason Farradane award for services to information science.

Having acted as a treasurer for a year now, I feel well prepared to supporting the EC in its activities.
