Before working on Inspire\, I also worked for a large mu seums group in the north east\, Tyne and Wear Museums\, in order to develo p a better understanding of the links between the library and museum secto rs. \n\nWorking with Inspire has given me an opportunity to get to know an d understand other library sectors than the academic one and to appreciate more fully both the differences and the similarities in what drives them\ , what slows them down and what enables them to work effectively. \n\nAda m Edwards\n\nAdam Edwards is Head of Library Academic & Research Services and Deputy Librarian at Roehampton University\, being responsible for the academic liaison librarians\, library resources and library staffing.
