Russell Burke, Assistant Librarian, Library & Archives Service, LSHTM. I began my career working in academic libraries in 1998 and from 2010 I have taught information literacy and literature searching to students, researchers and academic staff, from basic search skills to developing detailed search strategies for Systematic Reviews. I joined LSHTM in December 2016. I am a CILIP accredited professional Librarian (MA Information Services Management) and an Associated Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
