“In 2018, I was invited to join. This provided a great opportunity for me to meet and network with likeminded colleagues, discuss and share examples of good practice and have a say in the future of Emerald’s online platform and products. Their online platform – a community of co-creation, learning and growth – has broadened this outreach and allowed us to contribute further to research, and the development of our profession.”
Lucy Roper – UCEM Information Governance Manager

“I am impressed with the discussions that have been occurring. The topics are interesting (and sometimes fun, too!) and most contributors provide good insight into the subject material. I admire Emerald for providing this service. There is nothing else quite like it and certainly nothing else like it that is provided by a vendor. The network is much wider in scope and contains substantive conversations that make we want to engage with it. I look forward to hearing from more members in the future.”
Dave Tyckoson, California State University – Fresno
