GLIG Question Time Podcast
As part of the recent highly successful GLIG AGM we featured a Question Time style panel discussion. In the chair for this was David Smith (GLIG Vice Chair) and an illustrious panel:
- Sue Westcott (Head of ICT Services, Communities and Local Government)
- Ben Chan (Information Services Group, Ministry of Defence)
- Carol Gokce (Chief Librarian, Communities and Local Government/Department for Transport)
- Patrick Ryan (Library Advisor Land Registry).
Further innovation this year has been the inclusion of a podcast of the discussion.
Our thanks to Ben Chan for setting up the podcast and providing the file for us to use.
