Andrea Schweer, University of
Waikato
Andrea Schweer, University of Waikato
Andrea is the IRR Technical Specialist for the Library Consortium of
New Zealand and is based at the University of Waikato. In this role,
she is the technical person behind the institutional repositories of
three universities and one polytechnic in New Zealand. Andrea has
been in this role for just over three years and has been a DSpace
committer for just over two years. She is also involved in a data
repository project at the University of Waikato.
Peter Sefton, University of Western
Sydney
Stephen Cramond, University of Melbourne
Stephen is Electronic Content Manager at the University of
Melbourne Library. He wears “two hats” in this role.
Firstly, he looks after – in a general sense - the Library’s acquisition
of online, licenced resources, such as e-journals, e-books and related
databases. Secondly, he looks after the content development side of
the Library’s Digital Repository.
Stephen began at Melbourne in March 2011, having previously
worked at U Adelaide. To look at the position descriptions of his
Adelaide and Melbourne jobs you would think they were identical.
However, the size and scale of Melbourne U and the advent of the
NHMRC/ARC mandates means that he is now spending more and
more time at the coal-face of the IR and less and less time worrying
about COUNTER reports and definitions of multi-site access.
