Hi
I'm Keith Mac just to distinguish me from all the other Keiths. Well done and many thanks to Sarah and Hilary for getting this blog up and running. I think I set up about three accounts before finally getting this one on track. I had a bit of fun sending stuff between them, and being asked if I had been offensive to myself, but that isn't Hilary's fault. it is just that when I'm researching it is helpful to use Google docs so I can download when I get home without messing with memory sticks etc. I am from Sarah's groundbreaking first group in Oxford and I am working on a biography of my father. He was recently described online as a Library Hero, although he died almost 30 years ago.

I tend to do some research and then write trial piece of creative non fiction to combine the research results with what I imagine must have been my family's take on the situation. I am waiting somewhat impatiently for the publication of an article in Starting Point, which is the journal of the Branch and Mobile Library Society journal. I am told that the original Autumn edition has been somewhat delayed but has been combined into a winter edition and a copy will be with me shortly.

I am happy to post occasional extracts if anybody would be interested, and would be delighted with any helpful comments resulting. I look forward to reading other people's work, though my Spanish is not up to much Frank.
