He is no stranger to libraries and joined the university only three years ago to concentrate on research not only into academic libraries, but the role of public libraries. Leo’s presented at many conferences, has publications going back to 2005 and in 2016 was awarded the Research Practitioner Excellence Award by the Library and Information Research Group of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
