Betty Moys

Elizabeth "Betty" Moys (26 June 1928 – 1 February 2002)[1] was born in Wickford, Essex, England. She grew up in Kent, attended Sidcup County School for Girls and graduated from Queen Mary College in London (1949). One of her first jobs was at the Crayford Branch of the Kent County Library Service.[2] Shortly thereafter, she attended the Northwestern Polytechnic School of Librarianship and helped found the School of Librarianship Students’ Association. Following graduation in 1951, she worked as a reference librarian at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (1951) and as an Assistant Librarian at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (1952).[3]

Betty was involved with many professional organisations over the course of her career including the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL), the Society of Indexers, the International Association of Law Libraries (IALL), the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), the American Society of Indexers, and the Cataloguing and Indexing Group (CIG).[4]
