Since qualifying as an Information Management specialist and Librarian Howard has worked in both the private and public sectors in Libraries and telecommunications. He has over 20 years’ experience working for library software companies and as a practicing librarian developing library digital services. Howard led the project to develop an Australasian inter-lending and document delivery system that has now been deployed as VDX. While working at the State Library of NSW in the early 1990’s he established the first Australian non-academic network of libraries connected to the internet and chaired the NSW Government’s internet technical committee. Later he worked for a major telecommunications service provider, managing international outsourcing contracts.

Howard has substantial professional experience in the application of information technology in higher education. He served as Chief Investigator and chaired the technical group for the establishment of the Dictionary of Australian Artists Online (now Design and Art Australia Online) and served on the project steering committees for the implementation of a new Grants Management system and the Identity Management program for the University of NSW in Australia, where he was Deputy University Librarian. Howard established the UNSW Library Repository Services team and built library support services for the management of data for research projects and led the development of expertise in data librarianship and collaborative programmes that support e-Research. Howard has contributed to the understanding of the use and re-use of research data, leading a study into how academics use and share research data.

Howard began his role as University Librarian at the University of Otago in October 2010. He represents New Zealand University Libraries on the Australasian consortium for electronic resources and is a Director of the Library Consortium of New Zealand (LCoNZ). Howard contributes to the development of e-Research support infrastructure in New Zealand through the development of research data management metadata standards.
