Interim (SHINe Journal) Volume 36 Summer/Autumn 1999

People and Places

There have been several changes in personnel, not least the tragic death of Hazel Williamson who over the years contributed a great deal to the work of SHINE particularly as editor of the Union List.

Another great loss to the Committee and to SHINE as a whole is Maureen Thom who has left the Development Group Library at the Scottish Health Service Centre. Maureen has served as membership secretary, secretary and latterly co-chairman. We wish her well for the future.

Rebecca Higgins formerly Area and Campus Librarian at Highland Health Science Library in Inverness and one-time treasurer has left to set up in business from her home on the shores of Loch Ness as a bookseller specialising in medical, health and professional texts. She is succeeded at HHSL by Anne Gillespie, previously the Deputy Librarian.

One of our members has escaped south of the border. Ljilja Ristic who was librarian at the Western Infirmary in Glasgow has moved south with her husband and is now a hospital librarian in Sheffield.

My own working arrangements have changed recently. I have decided to take things a bit easier and go part-time. Rather than chasing all over Fife, I am now at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and on Thursdays I'm at Stratheden Hospital. This all means I've got every Monday off!!
