Having invested in my own personal domain, I thought I’d better make sure my bio was up-to-date. And then I remembered that my list of publications needed to be there too, so that became another page.
When I was contemplating a mid-career PhD way back in 2003, my then line-manager attended a meeting, and mentioned my intentions. An unnamed academic (luckily, I don’t know who!) thereupon enquired,
“What would a librarian want with a PhD?”
Anon
They didn’t know I was fulfilling an interrupted ambition of some twenty years earlier! (See my bio page.) But if the anonymous scholar saw my list of publications today, I like to think they’d agree I’ve made good use of the PhD …
I went on to get a postgrad Teaching in Higher Education certificate after that!
