Abstract:
Georgina Dimmock is Head of Academic Liaison at the University of Northampton library, where she leads a team of five academic librarians across six subject schools. Previously, Georgina worked for seven years as the library’s Academic Support Manager to the School of the Arts. It was during this time she worked with History of Design academics to develop information skills programmes that merged studio practice and theory, particularly looking at visual research skills. Since 2007 she has also taught visual information literacy to first year students within the Northampton Business School. Recently, Georgina was awarded University funding to develop Skills Hub for Schools, a repository of open educational resources aimed at sixth form students transitioning into their first year at University (http://skillshub.northampton.ac.uk). Georgina is a Fellow of the Higher Education Teaching Academy.
