libraries and archives.  Working under the direction of Paul Eden, the
appointee will carry out case studies and interviews, organise a discussion
seminar and report on the findings.  Candidates should have research
experience and must be graduates, ideally with a first degree or
postgraduate/professional qualification in library and information studies
or archives.  The ability to work with minimum supervision is essential, as
are good communication, writing and word-processing skills and a willingness
to travel within the UK (although based in Loughborough).  Knowledge of, or
an interest in, preservation in libraries or archives is desirable.  Further
