After having done a degree in Zoology, my love for books and libraries led me to acquire a Master's degree and teaching qualification in Library and Information science. I started my career as Medical librarian and then moved to various academic libraries including schools and universities along with my professional career, I continued my education and did my post graduate diploma in Library Automation and Networking and lately completed MS in Information Studies from Robert Gordon University.
