About me
Within the Research Services department I assist with the development of digital services, and contribute to the wider promotion of The British Library's online and printed collections.
My current duties involve selecting and writing summaries for research papers which appear on the
Social Welfare Portal, a digital resource freely available through our main website.
In order to ensure that our content is consistent and relevant to service users, I engage with the social media networks of charities and ensure that current issues and debates are accurately reflected on the Social Welfare Portal home page.
Here are some of the key attributes that I bring to my current role:
Create engaging web content on a wide range of issues for social science subject areas.
Collaborate with different services across The British Library, passionate about research and innovative ideas.
Currently uploading content to content management systems, which require a methodical and thorough approach to cataloguing complex material.
Provide written material for a variety of online platforms which demand analytical, descriptive and informative approach. Created entertaining, thought provoking views for my personal blog.
Negotiate a series of conflicting tasks on a daily basis across dual roles at The British Library. Liaise effectively with relevant departments and multi-task when appropriate.
Over the past year I have increased my skills significantly in this area by creating engaging and informative content for our users, but I would like to expand on this skill and create content for the creative industries. I am interested in emerging visual media in social media outlets, and I have recently started my own blog which includes current reviews of recent cultural highlights.
