Student Profiles

Richard James

During the two months of the placement, I’ve learned a lot of useful and practical information regarding how to catalogue audio recordings. More than anything else, however, I’ve learned how rich and interesting our sound heritage can be.

Elizabeth Carney

Elizabeth Carney, who gained a Masters in Information and Library Studies (ILS) from Strathclyde in 2019, is the joint winner of the 2020 CILIP (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) Student Prize.

The prize is awarded for exceptional achievement in the field of library and information science studies, either in academic achievement, professional potential or support and development of other students.

""Studying ILS at Strathclyde was a fantastic experience where I learned a lot about the information profession that I will be able to take forward into my career. I also had the opportunity to widen my professional experience and networks through two placements. More than this, there was a real sense of community at Strathclyde, particularly amongst my classmates and lecturers, and I have made connections, friendships, and memories that I will always cherish.”
