New Director of Learning Support Services


Dr Stan Houghton has recently been appointed Director of Learning Support Services.

As part of his new role, Stan will ensure that the Library and Computer Centre function as an integrated administrative department.

Dr Houghton (pictured left) said: "My appointment is the first phase of implementation of the new constitution for LSS. The change follows an extensive review last year of the administrative structure and processes of LSS. One of our objectives is to reduce duplication where appropriate and streamline administration.

"The change in roles and responsibilities is considerable and there is a lot to do in a relatively short time. In the interests of service continuity and stability, implementation was deliberately planned for summer 2000 to ensure that the new arrangements had time to bed in, before the retirement of the University librarian in Summer 2001.

"A lot of work went into the LSS planning statement and the new constitution. I am wholly committed to both and what has already been achieved, particularly in the last couple of years."
