Philip G Kent
BA Grad Dip Lib Sc AALIA MBA
University Librarian
Philip joined Victoria University in April 2006. He came to the University with 25 years of experience in higher education and research organisations.
His early career was in university, technical and further education libraries in Queensland. For the following 20 years Philip worked in a variety of library, IT, knowledge and information management, risk and audit roles at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency. A career highlight was the building of a large, onsite digital library of full text science literature.
Philip holds an MBA from the Mt Eliza Business School now merged into the Melbourne Business School. He has presented papers at national and international forums, been an active member of many professional associations and published widely in a variety of disciplines.
In seeking to optimise Victoria University's learning environment, the Library is a lead player in implementing integrated Learning Commons facilities at multiple campuses. This initiative will provide a major challenge for Philip and the University Library over the next few years.
