About Daniel Giddens
Daniel Giddens is a librarian with nearly eighteen years’ experience in the field. He began his career as a graduate librarian at RMIT University in 2007, enjoying a range of experiences. In 2011, as a Business reference librarian, he provided liaison support to undergraduate Accounting, Information Management and Vocational Business programs. In late 2017, he became a Liaison Librarian, moving to William Angliss Institute (the Culinary, Tourism, Hospitality and Events School), supporting staff and students across both higher and vocational education.
After almost 16 years in academic libraries, he made the leap to join State Library Victoria’s Information Services team in 2023, providing reference and research support at the Ask a Librarian Desk, by phone, in training, and online, including acquainting the Library and its patrons with business resources.
