In between, she spent six years as a senior researcher at the National Foundation for Educational Research in England and Wales, where she led projects on information skills in schools and colleges. Since then she has conducted research with David Streatfield on what makes an effective school library and how to measure the impact of library services.

David started his working life in public libraries, before moving on to run services for the Confederation of British Industry, the London Metropolitan Police and set up the first community work information centre in Europe (based in Wales). After five years running a major research project on information use in UK social services at the University of Sheffield he moved to the National Foundation for Educational Research as Head of Information Research and Development.
