HUG Committee 2021
Chair:Julian Dawson We have been using Heritage at Arup since 2002, and are constantly impressed how we can adapt Heritage to our specific requirements in an engineering and design consultancy. I am a senior librarian in the Arup University which serves a global firm of 13,000 people. Outside work I am a wine drinking cricket viewing bird watcher. I have been HUG chairman for over ten years now! |

Membership Secretary:Amanda Hartley-Newton I am the Learning Resource Centre Co-ordinator for Shrewsbury Colleges Group, working with a team of 6 across the two former Sixth Form College sites by Shrewsbury’s two bridges across the Severn, aptly named English and Welsh Bridge campuses. I have worked there since 2014, and I am the administrator for our hosted Heritage Cirqa system. I am a new member of the committee. As Membership Secretary, I maintain the list of members and send the invitations to the bi-annual HUG meetings. I am a keen walker and spend much of my spare time walking with Shrewsbury Ramblers and managing the publicity, including social media, for both Ramblers and the Shropshire Way Association. My perfect day would be walking with family or friends followed by a glass of local ale in a pub! My other interests include running, wine and reading, but not all at the same time. |

FE/HE & Minutes Secretary:Claire Lyness I currently manage Learning Resources across our two campuses at Coventry College. I have worked for the institution for 16 years from the age of 19, working my way up from IT and Learning Resources Assistant. I started using Heritage in 2004 to manage our Library resources and headed up our merger in 2017 to merge two instances of Heritage into one. In my spare time I dabble in baking and cake decorating. I also play acoustic guitar and I'm a lifelong fan of Kylie Minogue! |

Schools:Margo Veitch I am the schools representative on the Heritage User Group Committee. I have an IT background having worked in the Computer Science Department at Glasgow University before going to work first for English Electric in the Support Department and then for ICL as a System Validator. After some time out to raise a family I started helping out in the library of a local school. I have been involved with the Heritage Library System since it was known as Bookshelf. Currently, I am the co-ordinator for the Cheshire Schools Group. This is a group of about fifty two schools throughout Cheshire, Warrington and Halton. Within the group I help to install and upgrade Heritage Systems and train the staff on the use of these systems. I also liaise between IS Oxford and the schools within the group when they have problems. |
