Metadata Services Manager

Effective metadata management allows library users to reliably discover, retrieve, and utilize the resources they need to complete their research journey. I have been helping library users accomplish this in government, public, and academic libraries for over two decades. I enjoy discovering and describing hidden collections, evaluating policies and workflows to shorten the time between acquisition and availability, and employing user-centered and culturally sensitive subject cataloging to connect people with the resources they seek.
