https://www.tomroper.net/ Born 1955 in London, brought up in Cambridge, where I went to the Perse School www.perse.co.uk . Read economic history at University of Kent www.kent.ac.uk from 1974-78 and then stumbled into a job in a public library. Finding I liked it, I took the postgraduate librarianship course at what was then the Polytechnic of North London in 1983 and worked in North London public libraries till 1990. Then I changed direction, working for the British Council www.britcoun.org and Hawker Siddeley, before finding my way, not unnaturally for a doctor's son, into medical librarianship. I worked in London hospital libraries and at the Regional Library and Information Unit, before going to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon. In January 2003 I became Information Resources Development Coordinator for the Brighton & Sussex Medical School www.bsms.ac.uk, then worked at the University of Sussex and in further education and have now moved back into health, first at the Eyes & Vision Specialist Collection, NHS Evidence, as Primary Care Librarian, West Sussex Knowledge & Libraries and from 2013 to 2021, Clinical Librarian at Brighton and Sussex NHS Library and Knowledge Service. Retired in February 2021, but since then have done some work as a freelance searcher and teacher. Copyright 2022 Tom Roper Tom Roper no Tom Roper en Wed, 02 Mar 2022 13:04:01 +0100
