digital Initiatives librarian
The J.Willard Marriott Library, The University of Utah
As the Digital Initiatives Librarian, I fulfill metadata creation and remediation for digital library materials. I create digital library exhibitions using Omeka S, as well as host trainings for Special Collection and Digital Library Services employees. I maintain the library’s digital collections, prioritizing audio-visual materials at risk of obsolescence.
In addition to my librarianship, I contribute research, service, and creative projects to the university.
