  • Dr Sarah Thomas
    Dr Sarah Thomas Dr Sarah Thomas held the positions of Vice President for the Harvard Library and University Librarian of Harvard University from 2013 to 2019. From 2007 to 2013 she was Director of the Bodleian Libraries and the first woman and non-British citizen to hold the position of Bodley's Librarian in the Bodleian's 400- year history. Her achievements at the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library include: the construction of a new book storage and the transfer of some nine million books, journals, maps, and other archival materials; an £80 million visionary transformation of the New Bodleian into the Weston Library, which opened in 2014; extensive digitisation of collections; and many other significant improvements in library provision for users inside and outside the University. During her tenure at Harvard University, Dr Thomas leveraged partnerships with major research libraries to expand expedited collection-sharing of 90 million books, reducing the campus footprint and liberating space for other university priorities. She revolutionised collecting and collections storage at Harvard by partnering with three major research libraries (Columbia, New York Public Library, and Princeton) to move beyond shared storage to shared print collections. She developed diverse teams known for creativity, innovation, and positive results and led the successful transition of the newly formed Harvard Library from a segmented organisation into a healthy collaborative with shared strategies and common policies. She was University Librarian at Cornell University from 1996 until 2007 and has held positions at the Johns Hopkins University, the Research Libraries Group (Stanford, CA), the National Agricultural Library, and the 1 Library of Congress.

Navigating the new normal Aviation and travel – has the landscape changed permanently? Survival of the fittest How are sports businesses coping in the downturn? A catalyst for change? Two years on, what has been the impact of the smoking ban on UK pubs and restaurants? Welcome Alex Kyriakidis The future is – business unusual! Are you ready? Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, geopolitical risks, a ban on smoking, epidemics, global recession and now a pandemic … the travel and tourism industry finds itself at the forefront of unprecedented challenges. The new buzzword is “business resilience management”. Planning for a doomsday scenario is an emerging art form reminiscent of the planning for Y2K. Customer relationship management takes on a new meaning when plummeting demand forces the industry to drop prices and the brand promise becomes too costly to deliver. Managing the fine balance between cost reduction and losing the human capital talent in which the industry has long invested and may regret when the upturn comes is hugely challenging. And yet, somehow, these risks must be proactively analysed, the opportunities for enhancing revenues and reducing costs must be actioned, and the brand promise must be maintained. In this edition of our executive report, we look at some of the changing trends in our industry as a result of the above, as well as assess the impact of pandemics. One thing is crystal clear, the future
