John has worked in Zambia, England, Malawi, and Germany, and is currently working in Turkey. He started out as a teacher, but, required to take over the library in his school, enjoyed it so much that he changed the direction of his career. He qualified as a librarian some 30 years ago, and later obtained a Masters degree in Library Management. He has 16 years experience in IB schools.

John has three times been chair of the ECIS Librarians’ Committee, has been a Regional Director on the IASL board, has served on other library committees, and has had several papers and articles published in the professional press. A guide to good practice in documenting sources, Credit where it’s due: the school library preventing plagiarism, was published by the School Library Association in Spring 2011.

His interest in academic honesty stems from an attempt ten years ago to update his school’s Short Guide to Bibliographic Citation. That, combined with an interest in Internet search engines, led to experience in plagiarism detection, which rapidly became an interest in plagiarism prevention, then to academic honesty in all its contexts.

That all-round experience proved invaluable in January 2010, when he was recruited to put together from scratch a three-day workshop on Generic Extended Essay. The appointed workshop leader had dropped out less than 72 hours before the workshop was due to start!  John believes he works well under pressure, and this surely proves the point.

In November 2011, John won the IASL School Librarianship Award. This award is the premier recognition of services to school libraries internationally.

Darryl is Head of Library and Information Services at Oakham School in England.

Having made his way into school librarianship from teaching, he has become firmly convinced that the school library is primarily and fundamentally an academic department with a unique teaching function. This fact, he believes, requires a truly profound paradigm shift, and he has devoted himself to understanding the ideological barriers to making this shift as well as the reality of a school that has fully embraced it. He is particularly pleased to be an IBDP workshop leader because he believes that the Diploma Programme, in terms of its philosophy and structure, both necessitates and facilitates this paradigm shift, and as such represents a golden opportunity for librarians.
