Philip’s 30 year career in libraries includes the CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency and a variety of universities. A major achievement was the creation of the largest locally loaded full text science library collection in Australia. During that time he enjoyed collaborations with libraries at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Max Planck Society. He represented CSIRO on the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI). The University of Melbourne ranks as Australia’s top research intensive university. It is one of the top users of arXiv in Australia. Since joining Melbourne in 2009, the Library is being reinvigorated under Philip’s leadership. A ten year strategy is being pursued to better support the University’s mission in research, learning, teaching and engagement. Philip chairs the Group of 8 University Librarians, is a member of the executive of the Council of Australian University Librarians and a Director of CAVAL Ltd. In addition to mainstream library issues his job encompasses cultural collections and fundraising.
