Speakers:
Frank
Flintoff:
Currently studying for her Masters of Information
Management at Curtin, Frank works as an Audio Producer/Librarian at the Dr.
Geoff Gallop Braille and Talking Book Library, where most of her time is spent
cataloguing. Being a producer of Audio Books also means having to listen to
parts of them - so she is often producing odd requests, and suffering from
overexposure to erotic fiction. She is carefully considering turning all
this craziness into a real-life piece of research ("Implementing Dewey
Table 8: Improving information retrieval and user experience in Libraries
through extended cataloguing processes"), and is never afraid to consider
that the ridiculous might actually be possible. ASL 26/f/Perth, Mum of two human(ish) children
and all-round Nerd.
