Staff Update
In May we were very pleased to welcome back Curatorial Officer Jen Mitcham who has been on maternity leave. Jen is a key member of staff with special responsibility for maintaining the OASIS system.
Jen also has a particular interest in the ADS's policy and technical approaches to digital preservation. Jen has returned to the ADS on a part time basis to allow her to make the most of her new arrival.
We are also pleased to report that Ray Moore, who joined our team to cover Jen's post while she was on maternity leave from August last year, will continue his work as an ADS curatorial officer. As reported in the last issue of ADS, Ray has been researching for a PhD on Viking Age Isle of Man at the University of York. This has now been awarded and he will graduate in early 2010, so congratulations are due to Ray for this achievement.
Finally, as reported elsewhere in this issue, Kieron Niven, a curatorial officer of longstanding has taken over as editor of our new updated Guides to Good Practice series. For full details see Page 5.
