My face has appeared on the committee page of the UKCoRR website.
UKCoRR, the United Kingdom Council of Research Repositories, is an “independent body for repository managers, administrators and staff in the UK“.
Because I manage the Library’s work in supporting our own Lincoln Repository at the University, I’ve been a member of UKCoRR for several years: and since April 2010 I’ve been sitting on the 5-person UKCoRR committee as ‘External Liaison Officer’; my purpose being to “develop the relationship between UKCoRR and other organisations working in repository management & development, publishing & OA, research support, academia and librarianship”.
The UKCoRR website, including minutes of the committee’s meetings, is at: http://www.ukcorr.org/

I’ve decided to start maintaining again my personal website, mainly as a register of all the little bits of work I get involved in. This does mean it might not always make fascinating reading (unless you’re transfixed by digital library management and development…), but at least I’ll have a permanent record of things to refer back to.
My original website was a series of plain HTML documents; now instead of maintaining my own installation of WordPress I’m using the University of Lincoln’s (i.e. my employer’s) WordPress MU / BuddyPress server at blogs.lincoln.ac.uk, but mapped to my own domain. This way I can participate in the social-networking features of BuddyPress, while still maintaining my own, personal online presence outside the University.
