About

Hello! My name is Hope and I am an academic subject librarian at the University of Lincoln, where I support the School of History and Heritage and the School of Performing Arts. I’m interesting in helping staff and students make effective use of library resources for teaching, learning and research.

I am currently completing the self-guided course 23 Things for Digital Knowledge, the subject of most of my posts on this blog. I started writing about digital tools for teaching and learning as a way to become more comfortable with reflective writing in order to apply for fellowship in the Higher Education Academy. As of June 2019, I am an HEA Fellow.

I am also a medieval historian and my academic activities can be found on academia.edu and ResearchGate.
